The Objective of this article is to investigate the effectiveness of an integrated approach to teaching four major speech activities—listening, speaking, reading, and writing—within the framework of English for Professional Purposes (EPP). The central objective is to demonstrate that integrating these skills into a unified instructional model better prepares students for real-life professional communication than traditional methods, where each skill is taught in isolation. Methods of the research are based on theoretical analysis of current pedagogical frameworks such as Communicative Language Teaching (CLT), Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT), and Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL). Practical strategies were developed and tested through classroom implementation involving higher education students in non-linguistic majors. Integrated tasks such as case studies, simulations, group projects, and role-playing, combined with speech activities in professional contexts. The study also utilized qualitative observation and learner feedback to evaluate the effectiveness of integration. Results indicate that students engaged in integrated-skills instruction demonstrated increased motivation, higher levels of communicative competence, and better retention of subject-specific vocabulary. Learners were more confident in applying English in professional simulations, and their performance in speaking and writing tasks improved significantly when they were supported by listening and reading input. The bar chart illustrates the systematic interdependence of speech activities in EPP. Conclusion an integrated approach to speech activities in English for Professional Purposes enhances language acquisition by mirroring authentic communication patterns in professional domains. It supports learner autonomy, fosters critical thinking, and builds discipline-specific language proficiency. The study concludes that curriculum designers and ESP practitioners should implement integrated methodologies to better align language training with real-world professional demands.
