For the course syllabus design
2. It is the course focusing on content subject
like mathematic, technology, or literature can
also be of considerable using language
development.
It organized around theme, topic, or other
units of content. The starting point is content
rather than grammar, vocabulary…
In this kind of syllabus, content or
information is being taught not language
separately.
3. Dangers in such courses
Focus on content matter is message-
focus approach to learn language.
Focus on particular subject area is
stand for useful language items
might not be met in course.
4. When teaching English is integrated with
science, mathematic, and social science,
content-based syllabus have been a feature
of ESL program in elementary and school as
well as ESL program in university.
5. It is underpinned by the organic, analytical
approach to the development of language.
It can help school learners master other
aspects of school learning.
It provides a framework within which
language learners can have sustained
engagement on both mastery of content and
acquisition of language.
6. the language learner is frustrated due to the
fact that he is denied the language
knowledge that makes him able to the task
set
is no more creative that the language-based
model
7. Skill-based syllabi introduced by Nunan
(1999), he believes that skill is explicit form
into implicit form by means of practice.
It organized around different abilities like
writing, reading, … .
Learning skills involve learning some sub-
skills or micro-skill
We teach specific language skill in skill-based
syllabi.
