Integration of speaking and writing skills for better grades: perception of graduate students in Pakistani public sector colleges

English is taught in Pakistan as a foreign language for many decades but still, our students lack native fluency. As ours is a country where assessment and evaluation are based upon writing skill and our graduates mostly unable to fulfill this standard, failed. This study has been conducted to find out whether the integration of both productive skills have, any effect positive or negative, on students' grades. Simple random sampling was used to get the representative samples for this study and the number of samples was 150 participants (75 male and 75 female students). A research made questionnaire has been used to collect data and descriptive statistics was used to get the results. For the concerns of validity, a thorough pilot study was conducted and as per the results of the pilot study the questionnaire was accordingly corrected. The reliability score was 0.67 for the current questionnaire. As per the analysis, it was concluded that the integration of both productive skills (writing and speaking) can give better grades to the students, and there is a significant difference in the perceptions of male and female students.
