    The document discusses the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) and its approach to language skills. The CEFR promotes an integrated skills approach, recognizing that language learning involves reception, production, interaction and mediation across oral and written texts. While skills are referred to separately, the goal is to show how they can be used together. Other authors agree it is difficult to teach skills in isolation, as teachers naturally incorporate multiple skills in lessons.

    According to the CEFR:

    “The language learner/user’s communicative language competence is activated in the


    performance of the various language activities, involving reception, production,
    interaction or mediation (in particular interpreting or translating). Each of these types
    of activity is possible in relation to texts in oral or written form, or both.” (Council of
    Europe, 2001 pp.)

    There is a direct reference in this paragraph about the objectives of the CEFR on what has to
    do with the approach to language skills. They attempt to promote an integration of the skills
    approach, even though they refer to each one separately, the aim is to show how to deal with
    the skills as integrated. Some authors like Oxford (2001) support the fact that it is useless to try
    to teach skills separately, the teacher will always feel tempted to use more than just one skill
    at a time.
