Syllabus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syllabus
A syllabus (pl. syllabuses, or syllabi as a hypercorrection;[1][2] from
modern Latin syllabus "list", in turn from a misreading (????????
sillubos) of the Greek ???????? sittubas "parchment label, table of
contents"),[3][4] is an outline and summary of topics to be covered in an
education or training course. It is descriptive (unlike the prescriptive
or specific curriculum). A syllabus is often either set out by an exam
board, or prepared by the professor who supervises or controls the course
quality. It may be provided in paper form or online.
.
Both syllabus and curriculum are often fused, and usually given to each
student during the first class session so that the objectives and the
means of obtaining them are clear. A syllabus usually contains specific
information about the course, such as information on how, where and when
to contact the lecturer and teaching assistants; an outline of what will
be covered in the course; a schedule of test dates and the due dates for
assignments; the grading policy for the course; specific classroom rules;
etc.[citation needed]
.
Within many courses concluding in an exam, syllabuses are used to ensure
consistency between schools and that all teachers know what must be taught
and what is not required (extraneous). Exams can only test knowledge based
on information included in the syllabus.

Approaches to Syllabus Design for Foreign Language Teaching.
Language in Education: Theory and Practice, No. 67.
Krahnke, Karl
1987
An examination of foreign language syllabus design reviews current
literature on six syllabus types and discusses the process of choosing and
integrating syllabi for classroom use. The six syllabus types are
structural, notional-functional, situational, skill-based, task-based, and
content-based, characterized as differing by increasing attention to
language use and decreasing attention to language form. Possible
suggestions for using each type are suggested, and each is evaluated.
Grounds for choosing a syllabus type and various ways of combining and
implementing them in a foreign language teaching program are discussed.
The discussion focuses on the teaching of English as a second or foreign
language because of the extensive literature in this area and the ease
with which it can be generalized to instruction in other languages. An
annotated bibliography and a list of references are included. (MSE)
