Syllabus Type:
Multi – syllabus – a combination of topics, vocabulary, and skills practice.
Course Aims:
By the end of the course, the student will be better able to…
Speak in English with greater fluency and accuracy in a range of ‘real life’ situations, e.g., social, job
interviews.
Listen and understand the most important details, main ideas, and specific information from a range of
sources.
Extract key information, main ideas, and specific details from video clips, audio clips, websites and written
texts.
Demonstrate an improvement in writing skills by effectively expressing ideas, organizing thoughts
coherently, and using a broader range of vocabulary.
Course Rationale: (700 – 1000 words)
Here you need to include:
why you have chosen this syllabus type
why you have chosen the topic(s) covered
why you have chosen this target language/skill
the rationale behind the structure of the course, e.g. why is it in this order?
how the course will meet the learner’s needs
Syllabus Type: A multi-type syllabus with a focus on real-life communication.
I chose a multi-type syllabus for the 20 hours course because of Alberto’s desire to develop all 4 skills. I
made this decision because of the evidence that I gathered from watching the video of Alberto and the
needs analysis questionnaire. I decided that the main aims of the syllabus would be to enhance Alberto’s
speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills in English, with a particular emphasis on improving Alberto’s
speaking skills. Although Alberto has reached intermediate level and can speak English reasonably well, I
decided that Alberto needed to improve his fluency and accuracy and expand his vocabulary range. This
would enable him to communicate more freely with his friends in English, improve his chances of career
progression in Spain or in an English-speaking country, and help him when travelling to, and in countries
where English is the native language.
I think that learning a language is most effective when it mirrors real-life situations. Therefore, I decided
that a multi-type syllabus that focused on the development of the 4 skills in a range of ‘real-life’ contexts
would be appropriate for Alberto and would meet his needs.
Topic Selection: Real-life contexts.
The topics for each individual lesson are centred around real-life situations, and I chose them based on the
evidence presented by Alberto in the video and the needs analysis. I wanted to ensure that each topic
would be interesting, engaging, and relevant. By exploring themes like the Bucket-list destinations in
England, Job Interviews, Technology, Football, and Glastonbury Festival, the lessons expose Alberto to
language that is applicable in everyday life. I also thought that the chosen topics would help to boost
