Tasks
Task 1 The range of constraints
Brainstorm to create a list of constraints that may significantly affect the
design of courses.
 Are the learners interested in all kinds of topics?
 Can the learners do all kinds of learning activities?
 Are the intended learning outcomes reasonable given the contextual issues?
 How well do my content and methods work to ensure that students can achieve the learning
outcomes? What could I change to improve the fit?
 What learning outcomes outside of course content do I have (i.e., writing skills, presentation
skills)? Are my outcomes theory-based and/or skill-based?
 Are the learning outcomes specific, attainable, and measurable?

Task 2 Examining your teaching environment


1. List five important constraints facing you in your teaching situation. Use
Table 2.1 at the beginning of this chapter to help you. Rank your
constraints according to the strength of the effect that they will have on
your course.
No General Constrains Particular Constrains Effects on curriculum design
1. Are the learners interested in
all kinds of topics?
2. Can the learners do all kinds
of learning activities?
3. How well do my content and
methods work to ensure that
students can achieve the
learning outcomes? What
could I change to improve
the fit?
4. Are the learning outcomes
specific, attainable, and
measurable?
5. Are the intended learning
outcomes reasonable given
the contextual issues?

2. Very briefly describe the most important constraint or strength and say
why it is important.
The most important constraint in my opinion is the motivation of learners. Because of that
motivation and interest from learners, they will not have the opportunity to feel bored or give up
on learning.
3. What do you know or need to know about the constraint or strength?
You may wish to know about the present situation and previous research.

Constraints force you to rethink how you're going to allocate time, talent, and input. Constraints
force you to look for new ways of management and resource allocation or learn new skills in
order to create a positive outcome. The tighter the focus, the greater the opportunity. The aim of
this part of the curriculum design process is to find the situational factors that will strongly affect
the course.

4. How can you take account of the constraint or strength in your syllabus?
(What parts of the syllabus will it most affect?)
1) The needs, wants, and interests of the students.
2) The learners’ learning styles.
3) The time available and other stakeholders.
4) Setting out achievable objectives, which should provide a clear focus for the course and
be laid out in achievable steps.
5) Having a clear idea/statement of global goals, i.e., why the course is being run and what
the end goals are.
6) The physical constraints of the environment you’ll be teaching in.
5. Which of the solutions listed above do you most favor? Why?

Task 3 Comparing teaching environments


Discuss the second/foreign language teaching environments in two or more
different countries. To what extent can the differences be explained in terms
of Dubin and Olshtain’s depiction of the situation (Figure 2.2)?
