APPLICATION

Based on Laays, C., (2013):

Skill-based instruction is most appropriate when learners need specific skills, and especially when these skills are well-defined and the learners have little need for global language ability.

Skill-based instruction is probably more appropriate for adults that for children, for whom emphasis on concrete content is more appropriate.

Skill-based instruction is not appropriate, in large amount, at least, for general purpose or beginning level language programs in which the need of the learners are broad or yet to be defined.
