    Syllabus

    The structural syllabus focuses on grammar and language forms as the basic elements of language. It teaches language descriptively by having students recognize, explain, and use different grammatical structures. While it can prevent fossilization of errors and is culture-free, it may mislead students into thinking they are learning a language rather than just facts about it, and students are limited in what they can produce. The notional/functional syllabus considers how language is used for different purposes by focusing on notions like time and functions like requesting. It provides information about using a language. It allows students to develop multiple skills and become effective users, but may be limited to short exchanges and routines rather than open-ended language use.
