DEVELOPING STUDENTS' 21ST-CENTURY SKILLS (4CS) IN AN INTEGRATED LANGUAGE COURSE

Abstract

This article examines how integrated language courses can develop students' 21st-century skills—critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity (4Cs). It provides a practical framework for incorporating these competencies into curriculum design and addresses challenges teachers may encounter. Key strategies, such as problem-based learning, multimodal assignments, group projects, and creative writing, are highlighted, supported by relevant research findings and theoretical perspectives.
