Advantages and Disadvantages of The Structural Syllabus

The Structural syllabus progresses from simple to complex language structures, making it easy for students to build on previous knowledge and correctly apply grammatical rules, developing writing skills. However, it does not strongly encourage speaking practice or develop communicative ability, and the student role is passive. The Situational syllabus promotes an active student role and learning language in context, developing vocabulary and creativity, but students may not learn grammar and make mistakes without knowing correct forms. The Functional-Notional syllabus helps students express themselves and communicate with native speakers, but it is difficult for teachers to create and does not focus on teaching correct grammatical structures.
