The IIGE Professional Development Series 2022 "Building Global Resilience with I.D.E.A. (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Access)" held its second session, " Effective Syllabus Design in English for General Academic Purposes Instruction" on July 13th (JST).

 

In this session, John M. Norris, Principle research scientist at ETS Japan, outlined key features of a language education syllabus that effectively targets the development of students’ English for General Academic Purposes (EGAP) abilities. Drawing on tenets of Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT), Dr. Norris highlighted critical components of syllabus and lesson design, emphasizing how each contributes to a maximally effective EGAP learning experience. He also demonstrated these ideas by sharing examples of educational designs and materials inspired by the recently released TOEFL Teaching Framework and the teacher development course Teaching Academic English with the TOEFL iBT.
