Achievement of Linguistic Skills: Strategy Effectiveness on Integrated English Learning Approach

This book assesses the use of integrated English approach on learning achievement of linguistic skills in public secondary schools in Kenya. The author shows how, in practice, where curriculum is integrated, it permits learners to gain an amalgamated view of the curriculum, broadening the context of their learning beyond single key learning areas. The concern of teaching English is to enable the learners to write and speak well in ways appropriate to a variety of contexts. The book recommends that teachers of English embrace the use of journal writing to demonstrate use of English grammar thus enabling students’ acquisition of linguistic skills. It is a significant book to teachers of English in re-evaluation of teaching strategies and may also assist curriculum planners and developers at Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development on need to organize in-service course for teachers of English in line with the revised curriculum. The book is important to both students and teachers of English in understanding the concepts of language proficiency with respect to the integrative strategy’s philosophies and application of various pedagogies during language instruction.
