2. INTEGRATIVE TEACHING TECHNIQUES
What is Integrative Teaching?
It focuses on connections rather teaching isolated
facts.
The learners will be able to realize that subjects being
taught to them are not separate and isolated field of
knowledge, but are linked to each other in order to
achieve understanding and concept attainment.
It aims to connect what is learned in school to real
life situations, thus it is more on developing problem
solving and discussions of issues in the real world.
Learners will learn to relate what they learn and apply
it to their own daily lives.
involves consideration on the learners' individual
differences. These include multiple intelligences and
learning styles. The teacher therefore must present
the lesson in various ways that can cater each
learner's uniqueness.
3. We must consider: The cognitive,
behavioral and affective dimensions in
teaching must be given balanced
consideration. Values must be integrated
in instruction across all subject areas.
Through this, we are molding "integrated"
learners, or well rounded individual.

4. Content-Based Instruction Content-Based Instruction
is an approach to language teaching that focuses not
on the language itself, but rather on what is being
taught through the language; that is, the language
becomes the medium through which something new
is learned. IN the CBI approach the student learns
the TL by using it to learn some other new content.
For example by studying the French Revolution while
using the French langauge. The language being
learned and used is taught within the context of the
content. The theory behind CBI is that when students
are engaged with more content, it will promote
intrinsic motivation. Students will be able to use more
advanced thinking skills when learning new
information and will focus less on the structure of the
language. This approach is very student-centered as
it depends entirely on the students’ ability to use the
language.
5. Thematic Teaching
Thematic instruction is the organization of a
curriculum around macro “themes.” Thematic
instruction integrates basic disciplines like
reading, math, and science with the
exploration of a broad subject, such as
communities, rain forests, river basins, the
use of energy, and so on.
Thematic instruction is based on the idea that
people acquire knowledge best when learning
in the context of a coherent “whole,” and
when they can connect what they’re learning
to the real world. Thematic instruction seeks
to put the teaching of cognitive skills such as
reading, mathematics, science, and writing in
the context of a real-world subject that is
both specific enough
6. Focusing Inquiry
Inquiry-based instruction is a student-centered
and teacher-guided instructional
approach that engages students in
investigating real world questions that they
choose within a broad thematic framework.
InquiryBased instruction complements
traditional instruction by providing a vehicle for
extending and applying the learning of
students in a way that connects with their
interests within a broader thematic framework.
Students acquire and analyze information,
develop and support propositions, provide
solutions, and design technology and arts
products that demonstrate their thinking and
make their learning visible.
