Task 1.
Define the following words so the differences between them are clear:
Task 2
Unit 2 argues that most curriculums are either knowledge-centered or person-
centered. Find the book you learn English with, or a book you like using in your
class and argue whether it is a knowledge-centered curriculum or person-
centered curriculum. Illustrate your argument with captures from the book. Do
not forget to include the full reference, as well.
Task 3
Are some verb tenses more teachable than other items? List five different verb
tenses in English in order of “teachability” according to your criteria. Give them
a score from 1 (very easy to teach) to 5 (very difficult to teach) and justify the
score. You might want to consider the students’ L1, previous experiences, or
activities you have tried (either as a teacher or as a student) that worked well.
Task 4

Considering a course like this, explain what peculiarities the syllabus design
would need to consider in terms of setting goals, choosing/designing materials,
teaching methodology and evaluation.
