Syllabus

A Syllabus is an outline and summary of topics to be covered in an education or training course. It is descriptive (unlike the prescriptive or specific curriculum). A syllabus is often either set out by an exam board, or prepared by the professor who supervises or controls the course quality. Here I have a list of some characteristics of syllabus:

1. Schedule of time : It's important to have a timetable because it must exist an order to carry out our planning, it can get if there are reviews in the class and test dates.

2. Materials: It refers to the type of tool that it's going to use, for instance, a book, a powerpoint.

3. Objetives: It's what we want to our students achieve at the end of our course, it is always hypothetically because we don't know if it all our students will pass and more important if they will learn.

4. Give class expectations: We have to expect our students can express if they want to talk about the topic we're checking.

5.  Give hours and times you are available for conferences or tutorials: Sometimes we have to pause until a certain time and we explain to our pupils again if they don't understand, and it's necessary they also ask for us all his/her doubts that they have to do.

well, There's a organization for each syllabuses types of them, and these are:

1. Grammatical syllabus / based on the structures of a language.
2. Lexical syllabus/ based on entirely on activities involving real language use.
3.Situational syllabus/ to prepare learners to cope in a foreign language with concrete situations of the world.
4. Topic-based syllabus/  it uses activities that the learners have to do for noninstructional purposes outside of the classroom as opportunities for language learning.
5. Notional syllabus/ vocabulary and language concepts.
6. Functional- notional syllabus/ a way of organizing a language-learning curriculum.
7. Mixed syllabus/ mixture of the previous syllabuses.
8. Procedural syllabus/ based on a structure that can best be learned when attention is focused on meaning.
9. Process syllabus/ focused on the skills and processes involved in learning language.
