1. THEMATIC TEACHING This is a way of teaching

whereby areas of the

curriculum are connected

together and integrated

within a theme.

• In an approach to

language of teaching

that focuses, not on

the language itself but

rather on what is

being taught through

the language, that is

the language becomes

a medium through

which something new

is learned.

This integrative

teaching strategy uses

questions in which the

teacher guide the

learners in discovering

the answers

Is a part of Integrative

teaching strategies which

enable students to develop

“Competencies”. These

competencies are acquired

through connecting one

subject from the other.

Successful teachers who incorporate modes of

integrative teaching in their classrooms play the

following roles.

CONNECTION EXPERTS and not Subject experts –

select theme and examines subject areas and

respective materials interlinked with the theme.

LEARNING STRATEGISTS- use innovative teaching

techniques and strategies.

Multimedia Specialists- create and use audio and

visual materials which will be used in the diverse

learning tasks in their classes.

Not knowledge gatekeepers and meaning makers but guides and

facilitators of students’ own meaning making.

Creative Evaluators- Use creative assessment tools in order to get the

true pictures of the students’ learning since an integrative class needs

complex performance that could not be measured by mere standardized

and paper-and-pencil tests.
