THE COURSE PLAN

Name of the Teacher

Name of the Student
Alberto

Level of the
student
Intermediate

Syllabus Type: Multi-syllabus (combination of topics, structures, vocabulary items and
skills practice)

Course Aims:
By the end of the course, the student will be better able to… conversate better in the English
language (both casually and professionally) through the improvement of his listening and
speaking skills
...


Course Rationale: (700 – 1000 words)
WHY HAVE YOU CHOSEN THIS SYLLABUS TYPE?
A multi-syllabus is composed of subjects, structures, vocabulary words, and practice
exercises for skills
...
For instance, employing idioms, phrases, and
collocations will make the lessons interesting and help motivate the learner even more
...
Alberto enjoys
reading about current events, science, technology, and the environment
...

WHY HAVE YOU CHOSEN THE TOPIC(S) COVERED?
Alberto responded to questions on a needs analysis questionnaire about his interests, dislikes,
and likes
...
Because of his job, Alberto wants to learn
English
...
Traveling
was the least important thing to me because he will still be able to do it with the English he
has learned through social and working English
...
A
less challenging first lesson will also put Alberto more at ease
...

WHY HAVE YOU CHOSEN THIS TARGET LANGUAGE/SKILL?
Target skills identified where listening, speaking and pronunciation
...
Alberto is confident with his writing skills; therefore I will not be
incorporating this in the course
...
Alberto wants to focus on improving his English for work
performance, socializing and for travel
...

Hr 1: The learner states that listening and speaking is one of his key priorities in the skills
he wishes to improve
...
This will spark some discussion and debate around the topic, allowing us
to engage more casually so I may assess where he really is in term of holding a conversation
and presenting his ideas in English
...

We will watch videos on interviews and meetings
...
After this, we an start exploring the practical part of this by acting it out through
role-plays in the next lesson
...
In this lesson, Alberto will focus more on the speaking skill
...

Hr 4: The 4th hour will focus on current affairs
...
This
lesson will incorporate both casual and professional language as Alberto will have to present
his thoughts logically and (based on the video) also touch on the economic fears surrounding
the possibility of a second pandemic
...
Again, this lesson will incorporate
both casual and professional language as we discuss the impact and effects of climate change
...

HOW WILL THE COURSE MEET THE LEARNER’S NEEDS?
The lesson plan will allow for all the learner’s perceived weaknesses to be addressed and
improved
...
The lesson plan also allows
the learner to strengthen their perceived strengths by not completely ignoring and negating
those
