According to (Brown, 2001:233), integrated skill is a perspective that views the four language skills as a unit and not separate. Thus, we can say that integrated skill is teaching more than one skills in English (speaking, writing, listening, reading). It is valuable to integrate the language skills in order to enhance the students’ in finding new information which is delivered in spoken and written forms. This information can be gained well by mastering the listening and reading skills. It means that all the aspects of languages are connected and essential to be mastered. This is clear that one skill can reinforce others.

Webquest is one type of inquiry-oriented web-based learning by utilizing available resources on the Internet. Thus, teaching integrated skills can use webquests to produce interactive, creative, and interesting teaching and learning.
