WHY YOU HAVE CHOSEN THIS SYLLABUS TYPE
I have chosen to use a multi-syllabus. This form of syllabus is grounded on a blend of topics, structures, vocabulary items and skills training. Since Raul enjoys using a
course book for his education, I established that the multi-syllabus will be most useful as this is what course books are usually based on. A multi syllabus enables you as the
teacher to use various diverse platforms to guarantee you present lessons in a manner that helps student reach their personal goals. This also keeps the lessons stimulating;
and the student engaged and motivated. Furthermore, the multi-syllabus also permits me to arrange lessons around topics of interest for Raul personally, which include
music, the environment, science, and current affairs.
WHY YOU HAVE CHOSEN THE TOPIC(S) COVERED

dislikes, interests, and hobbies. It was particularly helpful since I used his feedback to create topics for the lessons which interests Raul so that I could be sure that he
would participate in the lessons with enthusiasm and be motivated.
Raul has a few reasons why he would like to study English, which include communication with his English friends and to make travel easier. After looking at these motives, I
decided to use the first lesson as an opportunity for Raul and I to familiarise ourselves with each other– I made sure the lesson is not too hard but that he still learnt
