The original Latin meaning of curriculum was a course, but of the kind that one runs around (it came from currere, to run), or perhaps traverses in a racing chariot, a transferred sense. The first borrowing of the Latin word into English — in the late seventeenth century — was for a light, two-wheeled, twin-horsed carriage, the curricle, the sports car of carriage days
-Latin curriculum; a running, course, current (as of life)

Shaw's (1975) brings out the following distinction between "curriculum" and "syllabus". He says "... The curriculum includes the goals, objectives, content, processes, resources, and means of evaluation of all the learning experiences planned for pupils both in and out of the school and community, through classroom instruction and related programs..."
He then defines "syllabus" as "a statement of the plan for any part of the curriculum, excluding the element of curriculum evaluation itself."
![Page 7: Curriculum and course design](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555cb673d8b42aad358b57c8/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
"Curriculum" as defined by Allen (1984) is a very general concept. It involves consideration of philosophical, social and administrative factors which contribute to the planning of an educational program. "Syllabus" then refers to that subpart of a curriculum which is concerned with the specification of what units will be taught.
![Page 8: Curriculum and course design](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555cb673d8b42aad358b57c8/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
In defining a language "syllabus", Noss and Rodgers (1976) refer to it as "a set of justifiable, educational objectives specified in terms of linguistic content". Here the specification of objectives must have something to do with language form or substance, with language-using situations, or with language as a means of communication.
![Page 9: Curriculum and course design](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555cb673d8b42aad358b57c8/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Strevens (1977) says that the syllabus is "partly an administrative instrument, partly a day-to-day guide to the teacher, partly a statement of what is to be taught and how, sometimes partly a statement of an approach ... The syllabus embodies that part of the language which is to be taught, broken down into items, or otherwise processed for teaching purposes."
![Page 10: Curriculum and course design](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555cb673d8b42aad358b57c8/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Wilkins' (1981) words, syllabuses are "specifications of the content of language teaching which have been submitted to some degree of structuring or ordering with the aim of making teaching and learning a more effective process."
![Page 11: Curriculum and course design](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555cb673d8b42aad358b57c8/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Johnson (1982) explains syllabus as an "organized syllabus inventory" where "syllabus inventory" refers to the items to be taught. Crombie (1985) also defines "syllabus" as a list or inventory of items or units with which learners are to be familiarized. But Corder (1975) points out that it is more than just an inventory of items. In addition to specifying the content of learning, a syllabus provides a rationale of how that content should be selected and ordered (Mackey, 1980).
![Page 12: Curriculum and course design](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555cb673d8b42aad358b57c8/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Candlin (1984) takes a different stand when he says that syllabuses are "social constructions, produced interdependently in classrooms by teachers and learners ... They are concerned with the specification and planning of what is to be learned, frequently set down in some written form as prescriptions for action by teachers and learners."
![Page 13: Curriculum and course design](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555cb673d8b42aad358b57c8/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Basically, a syllabus can be seen as "a plan of what is to be achieved through our teaching and our students' learning" (Breen, 1984) while its function is "to specify what is to be taught and in what order" (Prabhu, 1984).

Teachers need to plan different activities to keep students´interest from lesson to lesson.
To avoid the excesses of variety
The work should provide direct attention to all areas targeted in the
syllabus.

Since the real purpose of education is not to have the instructor perform certain activities but to bring about significant changes in the students' pattern of behavior. It becomes important to recognize that any statements of objectives of the school should be a statement of changes to take place in the students. (Tyler 1949: 44)

TermsCurriculum: a broad description of
general goals by indicating an overall educational-cultural philosophy which applies across subjects together with a theoretical orientation to language and language learning with respect to the subject matter at hand.
Syllabus: a more detailed and operational statement of teaching and learning elements which translates the philosophy of the curriculum into a series of planned steps leading towards more narrowly defined objectives at each level.

What is a Curriculum?The word curriculum comes from the
Latin word meaning "a course for racing." It's interesting how closely this metaphor fits the way in which educators perceive the curriculum in schools. Teachers often speak about "covering" concepts as one would speak about "covering" ground. And that coverage is often a race against the testing clock.

Books provide a solid framework to work with, which is very useful for less experienced practitioners.

EVALUATING AND ASSESSINGEvaluating is of critical
importance in supporting how teaching is done.
It involves asking questions,collecting relevant information and making judgements.
A needs analysis is a form of evaluation,too.
Placement tests involve evaluation,as does decisions about materials

LET´S ANSWER What could be specific about E learning process, both in
general and particularly in the Peruvian context? How should this specificity be reflected in terms of curricula
content, its general aims and objectives? How should this specificity affect the assessment criteria to
evaluate the benefits of learning? In what way and to what extent should the curricula reflect
the above mentioned specificity? What, if any, are the special problems of Peruvian learners? How can the curriculum provide for systematic language
build-up on the level of creative language use? What aspects of language learning seem to be common to
all students within vocational education? What is the relationship among individual language skills
within language use in different disciplines? Is it possible to establish common core frameworks for the
curricula according to different disciplines?
