1. THEMATIC TEACHING This is a way of teaching
whereby areas of the
curriculum are connected
together and integrated
within a theme.
• In an approach to
language of teaching
that focuses, not on
the language itself but
rather on what is
being taught through
the language, that is
the language becomes
a medium through
which something new
is learned.
This integrative
teaching strategy uses
questions in which the
teacher guide the
learners in discovering
the answers
Is a part of Integrative
teaching strategies which
enable students to develop
“Competencies”. These
competencies are acquired
through connecting one
subject from the other.
Successful teachers who incorporate modes of
integrative teaching in their classrooms play the
following roles.
CONNECTION EXPERTS and not Subject experts –
select theme and examines subject areas and
respective materials interlinked with the theme.
LEARNING STRATEGISTS- use innovative teaching
techniques and strategies.
Multimedia Specialists- create and use audio and
visual materials which will be used in the diverse
learning tasks in their classes.
Not knowledge gatekeepers and meaning makers but guides and
facilitators of students’ own meaning making.
Creative Evaluators- Use creative assessment tools in order to get the
true pictures of the students’ learning since an integrative class needs
complex performance that could not be measured by mere standardized
and paper-and-pencil tests.
