Product-oriented syllabus
From Teflpedia
A product-oriented syllabus focuses on the graded items, typically grammar-based, that learners are expected to know before moving on to the following level.
A typical product-oriented syllabus is the structural syllabus, also known as a grammatical syllabus, based on the grammatical structures graded according to complexity,[1] which form the basis of the grammar translation and audiolingual methods,[2] as well as more "modern", such as Asher's Total Physical Response and Gattengo's The Silent Way.[2]
In his Communicative Syllabus Design (Cambridge University Press), David Nunan asserts that 'any curriculum which fails to give due consideration to both product and process will be defective.[1]
