Consider the characteristics of Type A and Type B syllabuses. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of designing (a) a functional notional syllabus and (b) either a process or a procedural syllabus. Give reasons from the readings and from your own experience to support your points.
In the discussion of the advantages and disadvantages section, please include answers the following questions:
To what extent do functional notional or process/procedural syllabuses represent legitimate/acceptable approaches to syllabus design?
In which teaching contexts do you think functional notional or process/procedural syllabuses might be successfully implemented? Why? How?
