What is course design ?
It is a substantial and important part of the workload
Designing a course is fundamentally a matter of asking questions inorder to provide a
reasoned basis for the subsequent processes of syllabus design, materials writing, classroom teaching and evaluation.

Getting to know the learnersIn order to develop a course which meets the
learner’s communication needs in your language, it will be necessary for you to find
out more about the people in your class.

Language needs Why are you learning this language ? Will you need to write/read/speak/listen in the
language ? In what situation will you use the language ?

Course design Definition The proces by which the raw data about a
lerning is interpreted in order to produce an integrated series of teching-learning experiences, whose ultimate aims is to lead the learners to a particular state of knowledge

Language centred course design The aims of the language cetred design are to
draw as direct connection as possible between the analysis of the target situation and one content of the ESP course.

The figure of a language-centred
Identify learners’ target situation
Select theoretical views of language
Identify linguistic features of target situation
Create syllabus
Design materials to exemplify
Establish evaluation procedures to test acquisition of syllabus terms

Skill centred course design The skills-centred approach is founded on two
fundamental principlesa. Theoriticalb. pragmatic

11
Theoretical The basic theoretical hypothesis is that
underlying any language behaviour are certain skills and strategies, which the learner uses in order to produce or comprehend discourse.
A skills centred approach aims is o get a way from the surface performance data and look at the competence that underlies the performance.

12
Pragmatic The process oriented approach tries to avoid
this problem by removing the distinction between the ESP course and the target situation.
The ESP course is not seen as a situation performers, because a number of students are likely to achieve this proficiency.

13
A learning centred approach A learning centred approach is based on the
principle that learning is totally determined by the learner
As teachers we can influence what we teach, but what learners learn is determined by the learners alone.
Learning is seen as a process which the learnes use what knowldege or skills they have in order to make sense of the flow of new information.
