What is a Method ?0. All methods include prescriptions for the teacher and the learners.
0. All methods are a pre-packaged set of specifications of how the teacher should teach and how the learner should learn derived from a particular theory of language and a theory of language learning.

Syllabus0. Syllabus is the level at which theory is put into practice and which choices are made about the content to be taught, the skill to be developed, the order of the content etc.
0. The theory of language adopted will affect the organisation and selection of language content.
0. Different methods have different types of syllabi associated with them i.e. different ways of selecting and organising content.
