SYLLABUS 2 0 0 8
The multi-layered syllabus for Language I includes a comprehensive grammar and vocabulary syllabus at intermediate level, incorporating systematic work on listening, speaking, reading and writing. It takes an integrated approach to pronunciation, and includes learner- training and revision.
It has three distinctive features
· a task- based element,
· particular emphasis on lexis, and
· a "discovery" approach to the teaching of grammar.
Our aim is to help students develop learning skills by encouraging them to experiment with language and to work out rules for themselves, by helping them to take a pro- active role in their leaming, by giving them constant practise on a range of dictionary skills and by making them aware of the importance of taking an active role in the leaming process.
OBJECTIVES OF THE COURSE:
· To introduce and practise all new language in context, via the input material used in the course.
· To give students a natural opportunity to use the language.
· To help students arrive at the new language and its rules via a discovery approach.
· To help students to draw on existing knowledge to hypothesize about new language.
· To provide a thorough coverage and practice on structures, functions and lexis at an intermediate level.
· To give them opportunities to practise the listening skills through the material included in the different texts used during the course .
· To give them opportunities to practise the speaking skills through different tasks.
· To give them opportunities to practise the reading skills via the different texts used in the course.
· To give them opportunities to practise the writing skills .
· To help them revise and recycle material by giving them opportunities to re-use what they have learnt.
