Abstract
This article examines the integrated approach to English language learning that simultaneously develops reading, writing, and speaking skills. Through comprehensive analysis of literature from diverse linguistic traditions, the research identifies synergistic methods that enhance multiple language competencies concurrently. Findings suggest that skill integration promotes more efficient language acquisition than isolated skill development, with particular benefits in comprehension transfer, vocabulary retention, and communicative confidence. The research provides evidence-based strategies for educators and learners seeking holistic English language development, emphasizing the interconnected nature of language skills and their mutually reinforcing relationships.
