Types of syllabuses
Structural
The organizing principles-sequenced from easy to difficult or frequent to less frequent.
Situational
They form the organizing principlesequenced by the likelihood students will encounter them.
Topical
They form the organizing principle-sequenced by the
likelihood that students will encounter them.
Functional
These are the organizing principlesequenced by some sense of chronology or usefulness of
each function.
Notional
They are the basis of organizationsequenced by some sense of chronology or usefulness of
each notion.

Selecting the Shape of the Syllabus
Possible types
The Linear Format
Is adopted for discrete element content, particularly grammar or
structures. Issues of sequencing and grading are of paramount importance.
The Modular Format
Is well suited to courses which integrate thematic or situational
contents.
The Cyclical Format
Is an organizational principle which enables teachers and
learners to work with the same topic more than once.
The Matrix Format
It gives users maximum flexibility to select topics from a table of
contents in a random order.
The story-line format
It is basically a narrative. It is of a different type than the ones
mentioned and it could be used in conjunction with any of them.
Organizing the course
Five Aspects of Organizing a Course
Determining the organizing principle(s)
(e.g.., themes, genres, tasks)

on the organizing principle(s)
Sequencing the units

Language Testing
Two different
types of tests
Norm-referenced
The ones intended to compare the relative
performance of students to each other.
Criterion-referenced
They're intended to
measure the amount of course material that each student has learned.
Materials
An important aspect of materials development is
making choices
and you need to make these choices based on what
you
want your students to learn, according to your goals, objectives and your syllabus focus.
