Structural syllabus by Mind Map: Structural syllabus

1. Example

1.1. Stakeholders

2. Definition

3. A grammatical syllabus is based on the structures of a language. Learners learn grammatical structures in a sequence that reflects their complexity, rather than their use in communication, leading to many artificial contexts for practice, and perhaps an inability to transfer learning to real communicatio

4. A grammatical syllabus may start with the present simple, then the present continuous, then the past simple, and so on. Learners are not usually exposed to more difficult structures than the ones they are learning.

5. Advantages

5.1. It is made up of units that are "capable of being broken down into descrete elements".
