As shown in the previous sections, various studies have revealed the integration of the 4Cs into integrated skills learning improves students’ proficiency in integrated skills. The following section lists some practical learning activities teachers can use to integrate each of the 4Cs into English integrated skills teaching.
In the integrated skills approach, the learning of a skill leads to the learning of one or more other skill (Brown, 2001). Various studies have recently been conducted on integrated skills approach implementation in EFL contexts.
To the researcher’s knowledge, no study has so far explored the 4Cs skills in the business English classroom nor has a teaching model which integrates the 4Cs in Business English classroom been suggested. Therefore, this study is a pioneer in the field of ESP due to the practical model it designed and applied.
