Conculation
This paper has elucidated different aspects concerning ELF/ESL Syllabi: definitions, types, advantages and shortcomings of each type, stages of syllabus design, an exploration of the relationship between syllabus design and methodology, the various approaches in syllabus design. The writer of the current article believes that no syllabus is better than the other if it serves the purpose it is designed for. The integrated-syllabus, namely using chunks of all syllabi types in our teaching will help students to learn better structures, notions, and functions more communicatively. The writer of the current article also believes that students’ needs-analysis should be conductedbefore applying any syllabus. It would be essential that no syllabus should be imposed on individual teachers as the teacher himself can design his syllabus based on the students’ needs and the course requirements.
Curriculum and Syllabus are the terms of education, imparted to the students by teachers. It means the knowledge, skills or qualifications that are passed on from one generation to another. A subject syllabus is a unit of the curriculum. The two terms differ in a sense that curriculum is a combination of some factors which helps in the planning of an educational program, whereas a syllabus covers the portion of what topics should be taught in a particular subject.
