CURRICULUM AND MATERIAL DESIGN
General Statement :
As English teachers you can be often called to fulfill course design
tasks without having received the proper training to do so. One of the
most crucial assignments for an English teacher can be the task and
the implications for a curriculum design. Nevertheless, what is indeed
more difficult is the challenge of doing it without a proper and strong
background, as it is established in your course book introduction. As a
matter of fact, curriculumand material designenables teachers to
expand their expert ise so as to become course designers.

How would you draw a distinction between
curriculum and syllabus?A broad approach and a narrowapp roach
Syllabus design has been seen as a subsidiary
component of curriculum design. Curriculum is
concerned with the planning, implementation,evaluation management , and administration of
education programmes. Syllabus, on the other
hand, focuses more narrowly on the selection and
grading of content

TASK 7: Analyze different english texts and establish the corresponding
shape for each syllabus:**See pages 51 to 63 in your course book.

Wilkins (1976) proposes conceptual andfunctional components into a learning/teachingsyllabus. Thus questions to state when designingthis type of syllabus have to do with language
use for communicative purposes
Beyond asking how, when and where, the mainrequirement for such communicative syllabus is
to discuss about language in use forcommunicative purposes.
