Abstract

In the present paper an integrated curriculum project is developed specifically for Saudi EFL students enrolled in in an EAP course with the goal of pursuing their higher studies of English major at an American university. The purpose is to provide a comprehensive description of the proposed integrated curriculum with an aim for enabling the targeted Saudi students get a true picture of English as a unified whole rather than segregated skills. Being exposed to authentic language, Saudi students are challenged to act, think and react naturally in the language while developing self-awareness on how to meaningfully and purposefully interact with others. The proposed curriculum is, therefore, designed to teach the four skills in a coherent way and to be practiced together with no clear preference of one skill upon the other. Further, the instructor of the course is involved in the process of collecting necessary information via surveys, questionnaires and interviews, stating goals and objectives and selecting appropriate authentic materials.
