Introduction
Alberto, a 31-year-old Spanish industrial engineer, has embarked on an English language
learning journey to broaden his horizons both professionally and socially. With an aim to
improve his language skills, Alberto's journey is defined by his unique needs and
motivations. This rationale elaborates on the choice of a multi-syllabus approach, the
topics covered, target language skills, and the course structure designed to meet Alberto's
specific requirements.
Syllabus Type:
Alberto's aspirations and objectives span diverse domains, ranging from improving his
professional communication to enhancing his social interactions during travel. To cater to
this multipronged approach, a multi-syllabus strategy is the most fitting choice. This
approach merges various syllabi that draw from different language teaching
methodologies to offer a comprehensive and adaptable solution that can address
Alberto's distinct needs effectively.
The motivation behind adopting a multi-syllabus approach is rooted in its flexibility and
depth. Alberto is not solely seeking proficiency in social or professional contexts; rather,
he is looking for a well-rounded competence that caters to various facets of his life.
Therefore, the chosen approach should be dynamic enough to encompass this wide
spectrum of goals.
Topics Covered:
The selection of topics is a crucial component of Alberto's language learning journey. His
objectives revolve around two primary areas: enhancing social interactions, particularly
during travel, and improving his professional communication skills. Therefore, the topics
covered are directly aligned with his intrinsic motivations.
Travel: Alberto's desire to engage more confidently in social settings is achieved through
the travel-related discussions. Travel serves as an excellent entry point for practicing
conversational skills and boosting confidence in a variety of social contexts.
Job-Related Communication: As Alberto expressed a keen interest in career development
and professional communication, this course delves into job-related topics. These
modules are designed to prepare Alberto for potential job prospects and to enhance his
fluency in professional communication.
Additionally, considering Alberto's personal preferences, the course incorporates topics
such as science, the environment, current affairs, and technology. By including these
themes, the learning process becomes engaging and personally relevant. This relevance
fosters intrinsic motivation, making the acquisition of language skills more effective.
