The syllabus type:
I have decided to combine the functional and task-based syllabi to ensure that all my student’s needs are met. The functional syllabus allows for:
1. A functional view of language focusing on doing something through language;
2. A semantic base, as opposed to a grammatical or a situational base;
3. A learner-centred view of language learning;
4. A basis in the analysis of learner needs for using language that is reflected in goals, content selection and sequencing, methodology, and
evaluation;
5. Learner-centred goals, objectives, and content organization reflecting authentic language behaviour and offering a spiralling development of
content;
6. Learning activities involving authentic language use; and
7. Testing focused on ability to use language to react to and operate on the environment (Sabbah, 2018).
