translation of words in different languages is a difficult task.
even when it comes to material objects, the one-to-one relation of words in two languages may raise arguments.
"along with" (l.1) means together with.
"them all" (l.11) refers to "meaning of a word" (l.10-11).
"rarely" (l.14) is the same as seldom.
This text refers to items 106 through 111.
1 Some may wish to argue that the integration of the
four skills diminishes the importance of the rules of listening,
of speaking, of reading, and of writing that are unique to
4 each separate skill. Such an argument rarely holds up under
careful scrutiny of integrated-skill courses. If anything, the
added richness of the latter gives students greater motivation
7 that converts to better retention of principles of effective
speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Rather than being
forced to plod along* through a course that limits itself to
10 one mode of performance, they are given a chance to
diversify their efforts in more meaningful tasks. Such
integration can, of course, still utilize a strong, principled
13 approach to the separate, unique characteristics of each
separate skill.
* plod along – to work slowly and continuously, but without imagination,
enthusiasm or interest.

In the text,
"better" (l.7) is the opposite of worse.
teachers usually make no difference between second and foreign language.
even when we are preparing our curriculum or a lesson, the difference between a second and a foreign language is not relevant.
a second language is that one you learn in a foreign country where this language is the native language.
if you are English and you are learning Portuguese in Brazil, Portuguese will be a second language for you.
English learned in Australia can be considered a foreign language.
a foreign language environment is that one found by a Brazilian learning English in the USA.
"much" (l.1) can be replaced by many.

"readily" (l.14) is synonymous with promptly.
"those" (l.13) refers to "contexts" (l.13).
