Present article reports the integrated approach planned and practiced by eight teachers for forty-nine intermediate level students at Japanese Language School attached to Tokyo University of Foreign Studies, Oct. to Nov., 1989. The course consisted of fifteen 45-minute sessions which were designed to integrate students' four skills (reading, writing, speaking, and hearing), with synthesized materials on current environmental problems such as recycling waste paper. Psychological and motivational aspects of the approach was evaluated by qustionnaires conducted to both teachers and students at the end of the course. The statistical analyses included the evaluation of the goals of the approach, the contents of materials, the teaching methods, students' reaction and teachers' evaluation. Based on the results, the significance and constraints of the approach were discussed in the context of current demands for the second language learning.
