b. Yalden’s Instructional Design Model
Yalden 1987 stated that the language program development was connected with the specification of syllabus construction p. 85. From this, she
said that the designer conducted communicative use of language as well as linguistic structure and general usage. In her book, she revealed steps of designing
materials pp. 88-89. They were: 1 Needs survey
Yalden 1987 stated that need survey, “entailed carrying out a survey of the communicative needs of the learners for whom the program was being
15
prepared as well as a survey of the physical resources at hand” p. 88. Further, he revealed, “needs survey also included the learner’s own desires or wants, seen
more subjectively in terms of self-expression and less in terms of purposeful or transactional communicative behavior” p. 103.
2 Description of purpose Yalden 1987 conveyed that the more accurately the teacher can predict
learners’ needs, the more clearly a purpose could be delineated p. 105. 3 Selection or development syllabus type
Yalden 1987 delivered that no single model of syllabus design which was accepted universally p. 108. Then, she assumed communicative as the way
to represent the environment of real language use, and communicative syllabus existed here p. 109. There were types of communicative syllabus. They were:
a Structural-Functional Type Yalden 1987 said, “this was a separation of the two components of form
and communicative function was maintained, and it was relatively implemented”
p. 110. b Structures and Function Type
Related to this, Brumfit stated that it was sensible to provide learners with the tools for linguistic system rather than teaching them about what to do with the
tools, since cultural and language meaning was argued between users of a language as cited in Yalden, 1987, p. 111. Then, this type of syllabus helped the
designer to develop the methodology by focusing on accuracy and fluency.
16
c Variable Focus Type Allen introduced this type of communicative syllabus, where a three-level
ESL syllabus was synthesized. This type emphasized the change of formal features language to rhetorical discourse features, to the instrumental use of
language as cited in Yalden, 1987, p. 114. d Functional Type
Yalden 1987 said that objectives were stated primarily in terms of communication functions, not in terms of linguistic or ideational content p. 115.
e Fully Notional Type Wilkins defined
, “This type was the strongest possible approach to the input syllabus” as cited in Yalden, 1987, p. 115. This syllabus did not require the
elaboration of the subject. Yalden 1987 stated that the notional syllabus depended on the context and put a concern to what to communicate when people
spoke or wrote pp. 42-43. f Fully Communicative Type
Yalden 1987 said that this would be the minimal input syllabus, since this was out of a concern with methodological problems and solutions p. 116.
However, Allwright suggested the teacher could use this type of syllabus to solve communication problem and language learning would run smoothly as cited in
Yalden, 1987, p. 118.

4 Production of proto-syllabus Yalden 1987 said that at this step the syllabus designer would consider
the description of syllabus content, such as the preparation of syllabus specifications p. 138. However, there were some considerations before the
designer thought in beginning. First, it was not always possible to include all things the designer needed in teaching the subject. The designer tried to reduce the
process to manageable proportions. Second, the designer described the general purpose of the course at an early stage. Third, the specification of target levels
should be conveyed with early attention p. 139. 5 Production of pedagogical syllabus
Yal den 1987 said, “this was some of the apparent difficulties
surrounding early formulations of the functional approach could be resolved” p. 143. Since the components produced in the proto-syllabus stage were only
viewed as the guidelines, the components in this pedagogical syllabus were a specification of what to learn in the course.
6 Development and implementation of classroom procedures When the designer developed the procedures, he had to focus on selection
of exercise types and teaching techniques, and preparation of lesson plans and of weekly schedules. Then for implementation, the designer had to focus on the
principles, desired outcome, and exploitation or creation of teaching material.
18
7 Evaluation Here, the designer had to evaluate students, program or developed
materials, and teaching. 8 Recycling stage
This was a revision of the goals, the content, and the methodological procedures in the product.
