The term “skill” in language teaching is
used as a specific way of using language that
combines structural and functional ability but
exists independently of specific settings or
situations. In the other hand, skill is the ability
that people must be able to competent
enough in language, rather independently of
the situation or context in which the language
use can occur.
Reading skills
           • skimming and scanning
Writing skills
           • writing specific topic sentences or writing
               memos, reports
Speaking skills
           • giving instructions
           • personal information
           • asking for emergency help over the telephone
Listening skills
           • getting specific information
           • listening to foreign radio for news
           • talking orders in a restaurant
The ability to use language in
specific ways is partially dependent
on general language ability, but
partly based on experience and the
need for specific skills. Efficiency and
relevance of instruction are major
strengths of skill-based syllabus.
In skill-based syllabus, the content of the language teaching involves a collection

EXAMPLES OF SKILL-BASED SYLLABUS
There are some examples of the way to apply skill-based syllabus
                          such as:
Guessing vocabulary from context    scanning or non prose material
Reading for the main idea          Using affixes as clues to meaning
Inference                          More scanning of non prose material
Summarizing readings               More work on affixes
Dictionary work                    Restatement of informational content
More inference work                More affix work
More statement                      More inference
Analysis of paragraph structure    Critical reading skill
Using context clues                Using expectations
Competences That Must Be Had By The Students
 Students will be able to identify common food items from each
  food group
 Students will be able to read name and price label
 Students will be able to identify coins by name and amount
 Students will be able to give correct change
 Students will be able to identify family members by name and
  relationship
 Students will be able to write name, address, telephone number,
  and age in appropriate place form.
1. Skill-based content is most useful when learners need to
master specific types of language uses.

2. It is possible to predict at least what material that students really need.

really need.


3. Relevance on student-felt needs or wants .
Under the right circumstance, the skill based syllabi has
few drawbacks. Up till now, there is a theoretical question about
this kind of syllabus. That is about the whether the degree to which
ability to perform specific in language is dependent overall
language proficiency or not.

        Besides that, there are different opinions about this
syllabus related to the relationship between skill instruction ad
general language proficiency. One side believes that skill based
syllabus will be helpful because someone learns language
specifically. But other side said that this syllabus will limit some
one’s general language proficiency.
Social and philosophical question also rise about the social
values that are contained in many skill instructional based
program. Skill based instruction that is too limited in scope can
program students for particular kinds of behavior (e.g. obedience
in a work setting) or isolated them from achievements and
ambition that the competencies do not prepare them for (e.g.
education rather than entry-level employment).
APPLICATIONS
•   Skill-based instruction is most appropriate when learners need
    specific skills, and especially when these skills are well-defined and
    the learners have little need for global language ability.

•   Skill-based instruction is probably more appropriate for adults that
    for children, for whom emphasis on concrete content is more
    appropriate.

•   Skill-based instruction is not appropriate, in large amount, at least,
    for general purpose or beginning level language programs in which
    the need of the learners are broad or yet to be defined. In such case,
    focusing on narrow skill-based applications will take instructional
    time away from content that is more likely to address their need for
    overall language proficiency.
