Abstract
The study aimed to know the effect of praxis of integrative approach towards developing English proficiency of elementary school learners. The findings of the study shall become the basis for the formulation of an innovative instructional framework that would enhance the English proficiency of elementary school learners and teaching approaches of elementary school teachers. Based on the findings of the study, the teacher’s use of the integrative teaching approach should be strengthened, which could be accomplished through thematic teaching, learning by design, content-based instruction, and scaffolded knowledge integration. These teaching approaches could be used in teaching and learning to significantly improve learners' performance levels. Learners' English proficiency could be improved by implementing diverse, relevant, and responsive learning activities that employ various integrative teaching approaches. These could be incorporated into teachers' daily learning plans through various learning episodes such as priming activity, motivation, analysis, abstraction, and application. The study found that there is a significant effect on the implementation of an integrative approach to English proficiency in terms of reading, speaking, and writing; therefore, a more explicit curriculum delivery using an integrative approach is highly recommended for implementation in the teaching of the English language.
