Choosing a Multi-syllabus type for Alberto's English course makes sense because it offers a balanced and flexible approach
to language learning. Alberto has diverse goals, ranging from improving his speaking skills for better communication to
enhancing his overall proficiency for job prospects and travel in English-speaking countries. A Multi-syllabus curriculum
allows for comprehensive coverage of all language skills—speaking, listening, reading, and writing—providing Alberto with
a well-rounded education tailored to his specific needs. This approach also offers the flexibility to adapt teaching methods
and materials based on Alberto's progress and interests, ensuring engagement and sustained motivation throughout the
learning journey. Additionally, the Multi-syllabus structure allows me to adapt lessons to address Alberto's unique
weaknesses in pronunciation, vocabulary, and listening comprehension while exploring topics relevant to his field of
Industrial Engineering. In short, the Multi-syllabus type offers a balanced and flexible way to help Alberto reach his
language learning goals effectively.
Why you have chosen the topic(s) covered.
I chose to cover a wide range of topics such as environment, science/technology, current affairs, films, and career
development. These topics were carefully chosen after a thorough assessment of the needs and interests of the student was
conducted using the need analysis and interview. Exploring these subjects in English will improve Alberto's language skills
as well as his knowledge and understanding of the subjects. Discussing environmental issues aligns with Alberto’s interests
and allows him to engage with global challenges, expanding his vocabulary and fostering critical thinking on sustainability
and conservation topics. Exploring advancements in science and technology aligns with Alberto's background in Industrial
Engineering, enabling him to expand his technical vocabulary and understand complex concepts in English. Analysing
current events helps Alberto develop his reading and listening comprehension skills, keeping him informed about global
affairs and enabling him to engage in meaningful discussions in English. Watching and discussing English films provides an
immersive learning experience, improving Alberto's listening skills, expanding his vocabulary, and offering cultural insights
that enrich his language learning journey. Lastly, career related topic prepares Alberto for future job interviews and career
advancement in English-speaking countries. This comprehensive approach ensures that Alberto's language learning is both
engaging and relevant to his personal and professional development.
Why you have chosen this target language/skill.
The choice of target language objectives and skills for Alberto's English course was carefully considered to align with his
specific learning needs and goals. These target skills include his speaking skills, pronunciation, listening skills, vocabulary,
and reading skills. I have chosen these language skills because they play a crucial role in facilitating effective
communication. By focusing on improving his speaking skills, I aim to enhance Alberto's ability to communicate fluently
