THE COURSE PLAN
Name of the Teacher Name of the Student Level of the student
Chantal Nieuwoudt Alberto Mozo Minguez B1 Intermediate Level
Syllabus Type:
For this course plan, a “Multi-Syllabus Approach” will be beneficial to Alberto’s specific
needs and desired outcomes, because it will combine features such as:
- Task-based- (this focuses on forming lessons around the target language through
real-world context, such as role-plays or completing tasks which mimics real-life
situations),
- Functional-notional- (the way on how a second language is taught, is to focus on
communicating the words’ meaning and how it is expressed verbally instead of the
words’ grammatical structure)-, and
- Lexical syllabus (this essential teaching method focusses on ‘technical vocab’ and
phrases while communicating in specific contexts).
A “Multi-Syllable Approach” will ensure that speaking-, listening-, and pronunciation skills
with the appropriate vocab, will improve Alberto’s vocabulary as it will be according to his
interests and work-related roles. Therefore, meeting Alberto's diverse needs.
Course Aims:
By the end of the course, the student, Alberto, will be better able to…
- Confidently communicate more fluently during his everyday conversations when he uses
his English in both professional- (interviews and working environment) and social contexts
(traveling, casual conversations with friends, etc.).
- Participate and understand listening activities.
- Develop a better reading comprehension ability, which will improve his understanding in
the English grammatical structures’ correct usage, orally and written.
- Enhance his speaking skills through the acquired vocab, which will also improve his
pronunciation and intonation, helping him to speak more fluently and naturally, and
- Understand and comprehend the English culture and media on a deeper level than before.
