The use of student lectures as an integrative language learning approach for university level English as second language students is described. Student lectures pair decoding skills with encoding skills through five steps: selecting an article of interest, reading the article and taking notes on it, using the notes to prepare an oral report, presenting the report by following the notes, and answering listeners' questions. Fourteen variations on this approach are discussed: (1) analyzing the speaker's notes, (2) reconstructing the lecture from a listener's notes, (3) evaluating the listeners' notes on the lecture, (4) using listeners' notes as peer feedback, (5) administering a quiz on lecture content, (6) written reconstruction, (7) oral reconstruction, (8) group discussion, (9) observing aspects of the speaker's delivery, (10) tape recording the lecture, (11) videotaping the lecture, (12) basing the lecture on a radio broadcast rather than an article, (13) inviting a guest lecturer to speak, and (14) having the teacher deliver the lecture.
