Desing
The level of method analysis in which we consider the following: • Objectives • Syllabus model: the selection and organization of its language content • Learning tasks and teaching activities • Learner roles • Teacher roles • The role of instructional materials
Roles
Learner
- Types of activities carried out by learners - Learners’ control over the content - Patterns of learner groupings - Learner’s influence over others’ learning - View of learner as processor, performer, initiator and problem solver
Teacher
The primary source of knowledge and direction - A guide, consultant and model - Limited by imposed contents and directions on texts and lessons plans
Instructional Materials
- Present content - Practice content - Facilitate communication between learners - Enable them to practice the content without teacher’s help
