a starting point …
• “Prescriptive” vs. “Descriptive”
• “Theory-driven” vs. “Reality-based”
• For classrooms “where a commitment has been made to content learning as well as language learning.”

Methods & Approaches
• does not dictate teaching techniques:– works well with Task-based, as well as
with the more teacher-centered systems– probably all “methods” can and have
used a content-based syllabus at one time or another
• does not dictate medium of instruction:– distance learning– CALL/video/audio/other
![Page 19: Usng “Content” for Language Learning](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081413/548d2d6db47959c4658b4621/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
How?
• A framework for course development (single hour, or full-term planning)1. Identify the specific course and group of
students to teach.
2. Identify the content to be utilized.
3. Identify why the students should care!
4. Identify the specific “teaching point(s).”
5. Develop/locate an exemplar text.
6. Design student responses to the text.
