Syllabus Design And Methodology: Second and Foreign Language Teaching

Syllabus Design And Methodology: Second and Foreign Language Teaching


Rod Ellis (2002) is of the view that two of the major questions that need to be considered in L2 teaching are:

- Should we teach grammar at all?
- If so, how should we teach it?

Answer the above questions, evaluating the arguments and evidence in coming to your own conclusions.


Although this question covers a lot of ground, it is fairly straightforward. In the first part you should place the question in its historical context, and review the evidence that exists about the effectiveness of formal instruction. In the second part, you should address the variety of ways in which language can be taught (explicitly, inductively etc.), the methods which make use of these (PPP, C-R etc.) and the learning theories which underpin them.
