This document outlines factors to consider when designing an English language course, including questions about why students need to learn, who will be involved in teaching, where learning will take place, when it will occur, what content will be covered, and how learning will be achieved. It suggests addressing questions about objectives, time, language skills, proficiency levels, topics, learning theory, and methodology. Course design should also consider the syllabus, teaching methods, learner characteristics, and learning environment.
