Exploring Integrated Language In Use For Undergraduate English Learners Through Wayang Stories

Teaching integrated English skills has been currently becoming a crucial discussion among the teachers since it
is today’s trend of language teaching in line with the changing of the view about language use.The main problem
is, how to deliver the four language skills in integrated way and no more learned in isolated way. An other
considered problem is due to allocate the only two SCU (Semester Credit Unit) per-week with the large amount
of materials content.This paper explores the procedure on delivering integrated four English skills through
wayang stories as the learning materials by involving 40 undergraduate level of English I learners. The data
compiled using in-depth observation and integrated skills tests through the given tasks were analyzed both
descriptively and numerically. Result of in-depth observation mainly reveals the WUPPA (watching,
understanding, paraphrashing and assessing) procedures and its benefit to teach integrated skills learning
conceptually. Besides, wayang stories can educate learners to love their cultures and acquire the hidden moral
messages embedded in each story. Therefore, it is recommended for the teachers to teach integrated English
skills for it is considered more efficient, enjoyable and enrich both the linguistic and the content targets
authentically rather than in isolated skill way.
