Content and Sequencing

Content and Sequencing

1. The ideas in the course should increase the acceptability and usefulness of the course outside the classroom.

2. THE CONTENT: Should take account what learners expect to see in an English course.

3. The number of lessons in the course should suit the school term or year.

4. Vocabulary: There should also be the opportunity for learners to meet the same vocabulary in a variety of contexts and across.

   • Grammar Infrequent items can be usefully introduced in courses where they are needed to be learned as memorized phrases rather than as structures to focus on.
     • Functions Functionally based courses are that curriculum designers sometimes feel the need to present several different ways of expressing the same function.
       • Discourse A connected series of utterances either spoken or written; a text or conversation.

5. The units of progression are the items that are used to grade the progress of the course.
