This article aims at probing the different types of syllabi used to teach English to English native
and non-native speakers. The researcher used a chronological approach in describing each syllabus
type in accordance to its emergence in epistemology of the syllabus design and pedagogical trends
in teaching English in the world. Theories of language and learning, characteristics of each
syllabus, and pros and cons of the discussed syllabi were highlighted throughout the article.
Communicative Language Teaching is the cornerstone for approaches that have shifted from a grammar-based language view to a functional view of language where communication is the main objective. Such approaches are CBI (Content-based instruction) and TBI (Task-based instruction). Today, both CBI and TBI are the leading approaches most teachers are currently using to teach a second/foreign language around the world. Both approaches have been proven to be effective, and the most important thing is that students are truly learning to use language to communicate their ideas to different audiences.

Syllabus design and lesson planning (building teaching)Carlos Mayora
Taller sobre el diseño y planeación curricular para profesores de lengua extranjera de la ciudad de Santiago de Cali. En el marco del programa Building Teaching auspiciado por la Cámara de Comercio, la Mesa de Bilingüismo de Cali y la Universidad del Valle.
Having learned about theories of language acquisition and language teaching method, this presentation is about perspective in syllabus design, a typical applied linguistics activity.
CBI: Connect Build Integrate. Part II of the 2 part workshop presented to TICE faculty on March 15, 2011. This part continues by connecting the theory to practical use of content-based instruction in our program.
In this slideshow, we will learn about different perspectives regarding input in Second Language Acquisition. This is part of the applied linguistics seminar offered at Universidad del Valle.
This presentation is an introduction to some classic definitions and concepts in second language Acquisition. It is part of the seminar on applied linguistics offered at Universidad del Valle.
In this class we take a look at the process of designing goals and objectives for language courses. We also explore some of the alternatives to objectives such as competencies and standards
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Language Pedagogy
Prof. Carlos Mayora
November 2014
2. Warm-up
• List some of the activities that typically take
place in a language class?
• What are the stages in a class?
• What is expected from students?
5. Approach
Theory of language and learning underlying a
method.
Richards and Rodgers, 2001
Basic definitions
6. Approach
“A set of assumptions dealing with the nature of
language, learning and teaching.”
H.D. Brown, 2002, p. 9
Basic definitions
7. Approach
“…is something that reflects a certain model of
research paradigm-a theory, if you like.”
Celce-Murcia, 2001, p. 5
Basic definitions
8. Approach
Preconceptions, assumptions and theoretical
underpinnings teachers have that determine
what they believe is important for learners to
learn.
J. Brown, 1995
Basic definitions
9. Method
“…an overall plan for systematic presentation of
language based on a selected approach…”
H.D. Brown, 2002, p. 9
Basic definitions
10. Method
“…a specific set of procedures more or less
compatible with an approach…”
Celce-Murcia, 2001, p. 9
Basic definitions
11. Basic definitions
Method
“A method is theoretically related to an
approach, is organizationally determined by a
design, and practically realized in procedure.”
Richards and Rodgers, 2001, p. 20
12. Basic definitions
Procedure
“…classrooms techniques and practices which
are consequences of particular approaches and
designs.”
Richards and Rodgers, 2001, p. 19
13. Procedure
“A set of teaching strategies adoptes/adapted by
the teacher in order to accomplish the stated and
unstated, short and long term goals of language
learning and teaching in the classroom.”
Kumaravadivelu, 2006, p. 89
Basic definitions
14. Techniques
“…simply put, are ways of presenting language
to the students”
J. Brown, 1995, p. 14
Basic definitions
15. Basic definitions
Techniques
What actually happens in the classroom. “It is a
particular trick, stratagem, or contrivance used
to accomplish an immediate objective”
Anthony, 1963 (cited in Richards and Rodgers,2001, p. 19)
16. Techniques
“a very specific type of learning activity used in
one or more methods”
Celce-Murcia, 2001, p. 9
Basic definitions
17. Task
“…a piece of classroom work which involves
learners in comprehending, manipulating,
producing or interacting in the target language
while their attention is principally focused on
meaning rather than form”
Nunan, 1989, p. 10
Basic definitions
18. Basic definitions
Task
“…a separable element of a lesson that is
primarily geared to practicing language
presented earlier… usually involving students
working with each other, to achieve a specific
objective”
Crookes and Chaudron, 2001, p. 33
19. Task
A task is a workplan, that involves a focus on
meaning and real-world language use, while
engaging also cognitive processes. It might
involve any of the four language skills and has a
clearly defined communicative outcome.
Ellis, 2003, pp. 9-10

evaluation.
Procedures
Teaching strategies
Activities and
techniques.
Kumaravadivelu, 2006
23. “Both Anthony and Richard and Rodgers’ articles
created categories that were sequential and
perhaps static steps in the logical development of
sound teaching […] The experiences of many
language teachers are less sequential […] all the
elements of the teaching and learning process
might seem to be happening simultaneously, with
each component interacting with all the others.”
J. Brown, 1995, p.p. 3-4
Criticism to models
24. “The division of labor among the three groups of
people involved in language learning and
teaching operations […] is acceptable to some
extend in a traditional educational system in
which a centrally planned educational agenda
was handed down to the teacher. It is inadequate
in the current pedagogic environment in which
the teacher is increasingly playing, at the local
level, multiple roles…”
Kumaravadivelu, 2006, p.88
Criticism to models
