Are we practicing what we preach?

چکیده
the modus operandi in the classroom has been integrating activities. Instead of assigning one specific activity to each skill area, we take one activity and stretch it (without stretching the point too much) to include all the skill areas. For example, instead of focusing just on the speaking/listening skills by having learners discuss a topic, we expand the activity to include a reading and a writing activity connected to that topic. This way of approaching language teaching allows learners to focus on the whole picture rather than a series of disconnected activities practicing the different skill areas; it appears that our learners learn better this way. Watching an entire program instead of channel surfing with a remote allows you to see the whole picture in context rather than snippets. How can we evaluate (as teachers and administrators) whether we are actually integrating activities in the classroom and then reflect on its benefits?
