4. THE INTEGRATED APPROACH PRACTICES AND USES SEGMENTALS IN CONTEXT FOSTERS AWARENESS OF THE RULES AND EXCEPTIONS NURTURES LEARNER AUTO-CORRECTION ACCUMULATES AND SCAFFOLDS LEARNED ITEMS CELEBRATES OWNERSHIP AND LANGUAGE SUCCESSES CREATES AN ACCOUNTABLE AND MEASURABLE SYSTEM FOR FAIR EVALUATION

5. PROGRAMMING IN ITS OWN COURSE STARTS WITH A NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND COLLECTS COMMON ERRORS BALANCES A SYSTEM OF SEGMENTALS AND SUPRASEGMENTALS INTEGRATED SKILLS REQUIRES EXPLICIT TEACHING RELATES THE STRATEGIES BACK TO THE TEXTS OR AUDIO FILES IN THE COURSE
