DEVELOPING STUDENTS’ LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY THROUGH TECHNOLOGY - INTEGRATED SKILLS APPROACH

Abstrak

This article explores the pedagogical importance of developing students’ language proficiency through a technology-integrated skills approach. In contemporary English language teaching, language proficiency is not limited to grammatical knowledge or vocabulary mastery; rather, it involves the ability to use listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills effectively in meaningful communicative contexts. Digital technologies provide new opportunities for integrating these skills through multimedia materials, online platforms, interactive applications, collaborative writing tools, and virtual communication environments.

The article discusses the theoretical foundations, pedagogical benefits, practical implementation, and possible challenges of using technology-integrated skills in English language classrooms. It is argued that the purposeful integration of digital technologies enhances learners’ communicative competence, motivation, autonomy, critical thinking, and overall language performance.
