At the end of this lesson, you will be able to: Enumerate the characteristics of a
structural syllabus. Distinguish a structural syllabus from all
other types through its key feature of “syntheticity”
Evaluate the pros and cons of a structural syllabus
Understand the place of structural syllabus relative to the teaching and learning of language.

So, what is a Structural Syllabus?
(a.k.a. Grammatical Syllabus, Formal Syllabus, Traditional Syllabus, or Synthetic Syllabus)
![Page 8: Structural Syllabus Design](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062823/5876d2c91a28ab1d238b5115/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Characteristics most familiar of
syllabus types
grammatical / structural aspects of language form are the most basic or useful.
functional ability arises from structural knowledge
Theory of
learning
Theory of
language
ability to use or communicate in
the new language

What can we find in a structural syllabus?
language form / grammatical form
traditional, Latin-based, descriptive/prescriptive grammatical classification and terminology

Types of Structural Knowledge
Explicit / Descriptive • ability to
describe rules or explain why an utterance is right or wrong
Recognition /Judgmental • ability to merely
to judge whether a given form is acceptable or not, and to correct unacceptable form
Accurate Productive Behavior • ability to use the
structures being taught without necessarily describing or making judgments about them.

Grammar Translation Pang-ilang pangulo si Noynoy Aquino? 1. How many presidents were
there before President Noynoy Aquino?
2. Which/What number does Noynoy Aquino come in the list/order of Philippine presidents?
3. What is Noynoy Aquino's ordinal place in the line up of all Philippines presidents?

Selection of Content
vs.Sequencing
(Which is harder?)
![Page 23: Structural Syllabus Design](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062823/5876d2c91a28ab1d238b5115/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Criteria for Content Sequence Kelly: Complexity ("facility"), regularity ("grammatical analysis"), and productivity, or the usefulness of the structure
Canale and Swain: Grammatical complexity via intuitive criteria ; communicative facility, communicative generalizability, degree of facilitation of acquisition of other structures, perceptual accessibility, and dialectal markedness.
![Page 24: Structural Syllabus Design](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062823/5876d2c91a28ab1d238b5115/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Criteria for Content Sequence Other criteria: degree of difference between the structure concerned and its equivalent in the learners' first language, the learners' communicative need for the structure, and the order in which the structure occurs in a natural acquisition sequence.o In practice, sequencing decisions are generally
based on presumed simplicity, frequency, and need.

Negative Characteristics1. Lack of usability, applicability, or transferability of structural knowledge.
![Page 36: Structural Syllabus Design](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062823/5876d2c91a28ab1d238b5115/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Negative Characteristics2. Misleading: Learning a language
vs. Learning facts or information
about a language.

Negative Characteristics
3. Strictly structural syllabi prevent students from producing structures they have not been taught.

ApplicationsLow transferability
limited application to language instruction that aims for functional use

Role of Structural Syllabus
Instruct in new language via “easy rules”
Serve as organizing framework for other language instructional content types
