Dr. El-Okda suggests these steps for ensuring that various skills are integrated into a task.
1. Ensure that the task is well-formed (has givens, a learner procedure, and an outcome).
2. Move away from teacher-led to learner centred language teaching.3. Look upon texts as task givens, not as multi-purpose texts to be exploited by fragmented
exercises.4. Look upon skills as modes of performance, none of which can be used in isolation
throughout a speech event.5. Manipulate task components for skill integration in task design.
• Come to the board and put a checkmark and your initials next to the step that you understand the best.
• Put a question mark and your initials next to the step you have the most questions about.

Upon completion of your studies for Week 11, you should be able to:• Define skill integration.
• Explain the rationale behind skill integration.
• Develop tasks for integrating the various language skills.
• Describe the elements of a student-centred classroom.
• Name at least four functions of the classroom library.
• Explain how to design a classroom so that it supports an integrated-skills approach to task-based learning.

Task 2: Designing a student-centred classroom1.Imagine your future classroom as your
instructor leads you through a visualization.
2.Take out a piece of paper and a pen and quickly sketch the layout of your room. Include the location of the students' desks, the teacher's desk, and the classroom library.
3.Discuss this question in a small group: How would you design a classroom so that it supports an integrated-skills approach to task-based learning?

Wiki AssignmentNext week the class will be divided into three panels. Each panel willpresent on a different humanistic approach: TPR, Desuggestopedia, and the Silent Way. In your Wiki teams today, decide which topic (TPR, Desuggestopedia, or the Silent Way) each member will research during the week. Each team member should choose a different topic.
Your team’s Wiki should include:
• A statement that explains which topic each member is working on during the week.
• Notes from class discussion about the five steps for integrating skills into task design
• Notes from class discussion about designing a classroom so that it supports an integrated-skills approach to task-based learning
• Reflections
