THE ROLE OF AN INTEGRATED APPROACH FOR CREATING AN AUTHENTIC LANGUAGE ENVIRONMENT

Abstract

The integrated approach aims to provide authentic language opportunities for learners to enhance their listening, speaking, reading, and writing abilities within meaningful contexts. The primary function of language is to facilitate social interactions. In the classroom, educators can establish an authentic environment that encourages social engagement among students. The subjects and learning activities must be both relevant and engaging to the learners. By utilizing various activities, language components can be effectively integrated, building upon students' existing knowledge. This approach prepares students to think independently and tackle challenging tasks.
