Major Surgery Due: Redesigning the Syllabus and Texts.
Valdman, Albert; Warriner-Burke, Helen P.
Foreign Language Annals, v13 n4 p261-70 Sep 1980
Discusses the situational-structural syllabus with emphasis on more clearly defining objectives in both scope and content. Four directions for these syllabi are suggested: (1) priority of semantic and functional notions; (2) subordination of grammatical features; (3) introduction of spoken language discourse; and (4) reduction of grammatical apparatus.
