4. Syllabus

The teacher needs a syllabus as a guideline to help in teaching-learning activities in order to achieve success in learning process. According to Hutchinson and Waters 1987: 80 a syllabus is a document which says what will or at least what should be learnt. Nunan 2004: 27 says that syllabus is a basis plan courses of various kinds. He also presents two kinds of syllabus which are:

a. Product-Oriented Syllabus

Product-Oriented Syllabus focuses on the knowledge and skills which learners should gain as a result of instruction Nunan, 2004: 27. There several syllabuses belong to Product-Oriented Syllabus as follow: 1 Grammatical Syllabuses Here, syllabus input is selected and graded according to grammatical notions of simplicity and complexity. Grammatical syllabuses introduced one item at a time and required mastery of that item before moving on to the text. It seems to be the language consists of a finite set of rules which can be combined in various ways to make meaning.

And notion is the conceptual meanings objects, entities, state of affairs, logical relationship, and so on expressed through language. 3 Analytic Syllabuses In Nunan’s book, Wilkins 1975: 13 says that analytic syllabuses are organized in terms of the purposes for which people are learning language and the kinds of language performance that are necessary to meet those purposes. 4 Synthetic Syllabuses In synthetic syllabus, the different parts of language are taught separately and step by step so that acquisition is a process of gradual accumulation of parts until the whole structure of language has been built.

b. Process-Oriented Syllabuses

Based on Nunan 2004: 40 process-oriented syllabuses emphasize the students’ experience in learning activities. He also explains about three kinds of process-oriented syllabus which are: 1 Procedural Syllabuses This syllabus is organized around tasks, rather than in terms of grammar and vocabulary. Moreover, the syllabus consists of the specification of the tasks and activities that the students will engage in class. 2 Task-Based Syllabuses Task-based syllabus is similar to procedural syllabus that is organized around tasks. Richard, Platt, and Weber 1985: 289, in Nunan’s book 2004: 45, PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI 19 present that a task is an activity or action which is carried out as the result of processing or understanding language. The task can be real-world tasks and pedagogic tasks that the students are required to carry out in the classroom.
