This document discusses different approaches to organizing language courses, including organizing around topics, texts, skills, functions, competencies, and tasks. It provides examples of course structures and sequencing for each approach. The document also defines syllabus design and different types of syllabi, such as structural, situational, topical/thematic, functional, competency-based, task-based, and skills-based syllabi. It discusses determining organizing principles, units, and unit contents for course design.
This presentation provides a general overview about syllabus design. The presenation highlights the definiton of syllabus, types of syllabi, components of syllabus and the scope of syllabus design. It also sheds the light on the relationship between syllabus design and curriculum development. By the end of this presentation, students will gain general understanding or syllabus design.
The teaching of grammar and vocabulary will help the CTET students in preparing for their classes and also will help them to use varied creative ideas to teach this concept in the classroom.
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.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

An EFL lesson about the current events in Palestine. It is intended to be for intermediate students who wish to increase their listening skills through a short lesson in power point.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2. Organizing a Course
Determining the organizing principles (themes, genres, tasks)
Determining and sequencing the units
Organizing unit contents
3. Organized around topics:
First four weeks of Denise Maksail-
fine’s year-long (36 week) syllabus for
her Spanish 3 course
4. Organized around texts:
She called “technical writing products”
Brooke Palmer’s Syllabus for an ESP
course for professionals in the
Sciences
5. First four weeks of Toby Brody’s syllabus for eight-week
integrated skills course based on the newspaper
Each skill is the focus of the unit
6. Syllabus design can be defined as selection and organization of instructional
content including suggested strategy for presenting content and evaluation (
Brown, 1995)
Hutchinson and Waters (1987:80) define syllabus as follows: “At its simplest level
a syllabus can be described as a statement of what is to be learnt. It reflects
language and linguistic performance”.
This is a rather traditional interpretation of syllabus focusing on outcomes rather
than process. However, a syllabus can also be seen as a "summary of the content
to which learners will be exposed" (Yalden.1987).
8. Situational
Situational syllabus: Situations (such as at the school, at a restaurant, at the
supermarket etc.) form the organizing principle – sequenced by the likelihood
students will encounter them.
Ex:
At the school
At a restaurant
Food at the Supermarket
9. Topical/Thematic Syllabus
Topical syllabus: Topics or themes (such as our body, our house, our family, etc.) form
the organizing principle- sequenced by the likelihood that the students will
encounter them.
Ex:
Family
Food
Hobbies
10. Functional Syllabus
Functional syllabus: Functions (such as introduction, ask and give information, etc.)
are the organizing principle –sequenced by some sense of chronology or usefulness
of each function
Ex:
Expressing preference
Apologizing
Buying something
11. Competency-based Syllabus
Competence-based syllabus: Description of essential skills, knowledge, attitudes, and
behaviors required for effective performance or real-world task or activity serve the
basis for organization of instructional content (Richards & Rogers, 2001; 144).
Ex:
Listening:
Speaking:
Reading:
Writing:
12.
13.
14. Task Based Syllabus
Task or activity based syllabus: Task or activity-based categories (such as drawing
maps, following directions or instructions, etc.) serve as the basis for organization –
sequenced by some sense of chronology or usefulness of notions. The syllabus
purposes to get something done
Ex:
Planning a trip
Designing a brochure
15. Skill Based Syllabus
Skills syllabus: Skills serve as the basis for organization sequenced by some sense of
chronology or usefulness for each skill.
Ex:
Producing fluent stretches
Listening for invitations
Using appropriate rhetorical structure
Scanning a reading passage for specific information
16. Group project
Write the goals and objectives of the course.
Find an English course book regarding the goals and objectives. It may be English
for elementary school, adults, ESP or reading, writing, listening, and speaking
courses.
Copy the table of content and guide for teachers (if any).
Mention the type of syllabus and explain the way teacher should teach by using
the book briefly.
