Study Notes

Synthetic Syllabus

Language components are taught separately and in a systematic, additive manner.
Learners build understanding by accumulating individual parts of the language.
Focuses on analyzing a language into smaller grammatical structures, functional categories, and lexical items.
Each component is introduced one at a time to facilitate understanding and assimilation.

Analytic Syllabus

Language input is provided in larger, holistic chunks instead of individual pieces.
Does not focus strictly on linguistic elements; emphasizes communicative features of language.
Learners are encouraged to break down connected texts into smaller parts independently.
Promotes a more natural use of language in context rather than isolated drills.

Process vs. Product Syllabi

A process-oriented syllabus prioritizes learning processes over specific outcomes or products.
Emphasizes the journey of learning rather than just the end results.
