Course Rationale: (700 – 1000 words)
The pedagogical conviction that language learning is most successful when contextualized
within relevant and meaningful subject matter is the source of the adoption of a content-
based syllabus. This method fits with Alberto, the learner, who prefers to acquire languages
through in-person interactions with subjects he finds interesting. Through the syllabus,
Alberto is exposed to conversations on current affairs, scientific discoveries, technological
innovations, and environmental concerns. This not only improves his language proficiency
but also equips him with the discourse tactics and terminology that are essential for his
professional growth.
Selection of Subjects
Current Affairs, Science, Technology, and Environment are the carefully picked topics that
represent Alberto's interests and professional goals. These topics are not only close to
Alberto's heart personally, but they are also very important to his future career path.
Alberto gains the ability to critically assess societal concerns, participate in topical topics,
and stay up to date on global events through his discussions of current affairs. Alberto gains
knowledge of innovative advancements through science and technology subjects, which
helps him explain difficult concepts and take part in conversations related to his area of

, interest. Conversations on the environment help Alberto better appreciate the difficulties
of sustainability and environmental stewardship, which is consistent with his dedication to
environmental advocacy.
Language/Skill of Interest
Alberto has stated that pronunciation, speaking, and listening skills are of utmost
importance. Proficiency in these language abilities is essential for efficient interpersonal
and professional communication. Through improving his clarity of thought, capacity to hold
meaningful discussions, and comprehension of spoken language, Alberto will be better
prepared to confidently and fluently traverse a variety of communication contexts.
Furthermore, the incorporation of technical terminology and corporate communication
skills guarantees that Alberto can effortlessly navigate professional contexts and effectively
communicate within his area of interest.
Structure:
The course is structured in a way that makes it easier for Alberto to move from basic
language competency to higher levels of proficiency. Every instructional hour builds on the
one before it, introducing new material, logically incorporating language structures, and
employing logical communication techniques.
Using a Presentation-Practice-Production (PPP) framework, Hour 1 concentrates on
building a solid foundation in casual conversation and self-introductions. In order to
guarantee fluency and clarity, Alberto does pronunciation drills and picks up frequent
words and idioms used in casual talks.
Hour 2 employs a Listening-Structure method, mixing vocabulary building with Internet of
Things (IoT)-related listening comprehension exercises. In order to improve his listening
comprehension and gain a deeper understanding of technological concepts, Alberto works
with real audio-visual materials. This helps him be ready for talks about innovation and
technology.
In the third hour, a PPP format is introduced, with a focus on workplace-relevant language
and communication skills. Alberto performs formal email writing and presentation skills,
picks up terminology and grammar rules frequently used in business settings, and
participates in role-playing exercises that mimic interactions in the workplace.
In the fourth hour, Alberto is guided through the process of getting ready for and attending
job interviews using a PPP framework and a focus on interview skills. In order to strengthen
his verbal and nonverbal communication skills, Alberto practices answering standard
interview questions, learns how to formulate well-structured responses, and gets feedback.
In the fifth hour, Alberto participates in a skill-based reading comprehension lesson where
he reads an actual article about nuclear battery technology. Alberto is able to improve his
ability to collect important information, evaluate difficult concepts, and effectively
articulate his insights through pre-teaching vocabulary, guided reading activities, and
language analysis exercises.
