Abstract

Teaching English to non-majored students to foster communicative competence and to meet learning outcomes standards is the most considerable concern of lecturers, managers, and universities. Currently, students’ ability to use listening, speaking, writing, and speaking to communicate to serve their studies as well as their work is still limited. Among many teaching skills approaches, the integrated skills approach is proposed as the most productive one to satisfy these expectations. This article is a review of literature relating to the integrated skills approach and communicative competence. First, the paper will present the rationale for using an integrated skills approach in an English classroom. Then the paper will synthesize the key concepts and highlight the importance of integrating four skills to boost non-English-major students’ communicative competence. In addition, the paper will review previous studies in the field of integrated skills approach and communicative competence to indicate the research gap. Last, the implications for further research will also be discussed.
