I have preferred to use the multi- syllabus type for Alberto’s course as it will cover his needs
and interests. I have ensured to include a variety of his topic of interests to discuss, through
these discussions he will improve and develop the skills he requires. The multi- syllabus
type was therefore a favourable choice to try to incorporate Alberto’s preferred topics as
well as his skills he needs to improve. This syllabus type helps to ensure the combination of
vocabulary items, topics, structures, structures, and abilities and or skill practice. I
incorporated specific hobbies and interested of the students in both areas, teachings, as
well as homework. To ensure the students motivation, energy as well as concentration are
constant in participation. The activities I have chosen around his interested will supply him
amply opportunities to practise the skills, he requires, particularly his speaking, listening
and pronunciation skills for more fluent communication in the work place as well as with
his friends.
