1) Structural Syllabus
Structural syllabus are one of the most common types of syllabi and still today we
can see the contents pages of many course books set out according to grammatical
items. The grammatical syllabus has been defined as one which consists of a list of
grammatical items selected and graded in terms of simplicity and complexity. The
Structural Syllabus (sometimes it is called the traditional syllabus) is based on a theory
of language which assumes that the grammatical or structural aspects of language forms
are the most basic or useful items in learning languages.
2) Situational Syllabus
A syllabus in which the contents are organized according to situations in which
certain language is likely to be employed. The most familiar way of presenting a
situation is as a dialogue, usually at the beginning of a lesson and the topics, settings,
participants in situations can vary infinitely. Well-prepared situations can show how
native speakers act and what they talk about and are concerned about. In situational
language teaching, structures are always taught within sentences, and vocabulary is
chosen according to how well it enables sentences patterns to be taught.
3) Lexical Syllabus
The cornerstone of this type of syllabus is vocabulary. Lexical syllabuses build up
vocabulary areas based on a detailed analysis of high frequency vocabulary and phrases
of a selected corpus of language used in language communication. The syllabus usually
contains lists of the most frequent words, their meanings, word collocations and
patterns where the words can be used. Grammar, in lexical syllabuses is connected to
the different patterns of words, expressions of notions and functions.
4) The Notional Syllabus
The Notional Syllabus was developed in direct response to the failings in both
grammatical and situational syllabuses. The syllabus is organized in terms of content
rather than the form of the language. The Notional Syllabus has as its focus the semantic
content of the target language. Students must learn to express different types of
meanings. Underpinning this syllabus is the idea that language is cyclic, rather than
linear. Therefore, there was really no ordered approach to the grammar. It also
recognized that a variety of forms are used to express the same meaning.
