Tutorial Week 3
Activity 1
Sentences that perform the functions listed above are:
Sentence 1, 2, 4 & 6
Activity 2
A general definition of the word syllabus is that is an outline or a summary of the main points of a text, lecture, or course of study. Widdowson (1984, p. 26) defines syllabus as a general plan of activities that can be applied in a class to facilitate the learning process. Another general definition of syllabus would be, "description of the contents of a course of instruction and the order in which they are to be taught" (Richards et al. 1992, p. 368). Highlighting a broader concept on this would be Yalden (1984, p. 14) who defines syllabus, is considered as an instrument by means of which the teacher can achieve a degree of accomplishment between needs and social or individual actions in the class. Further adding on that point would be, Nunan (1988a) who states, "syllabus is seen as being concerned essentially with the selection and grading of content, while methodology is concerned with the selection of learning tasks and activities". Hence, it can be then concluded that a syllabus is useful because it specifies the content of the course to be taught.
Activity 3
Based on the conclusion given above, I feel like the conclusion confirms to the template because there is a topic sentence reiterating the thesis statement. There is also a series of middle sentences, each one summarising one-body paragraph. Most importantly, there is a concluding sentence that reinforces the main argument put forward by the thesis
