-
The term "syllabus" usually refers to an outline statement of what is to be taught and learned in a particular course. Among the several types of statements for language-teaching syllabuses are the grammatical, notional, and situational. These statements are not in themselves syllabuses but can be called pre-syllabuses. A grammatical pre-syllabus is simply a statement of the grammar of the language, viewed from a teaching point of view. A notional pre-syllabus suggests material that appears relevant and well suited to the interests, capacities, and needs of the learners of a particular course. The term "situational" is used in differing ways. It is generally used in reference to the situation in which a piece of syntax is presented so that it may be well understood and meaningfully practiced. In creating any syllabus there has to be a selection from these various pre-syllabuses. There is a need to select grammatical features, notional ones as well as situational features. The distinction between pre-syllabus and syllabus is basic, the latter being which is chosen for a particular course and the former what it is chosen from. In the end, the creation of a syllabus depends upon what the learners want to learn. (Author/CFM)
