Project Title: ANALYSIS OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHING SYSTEM IN THE ECUADORIAN AIR FORCE HEADQUARTERS IN CONNECTION WITH THE SIX CURRICULUM COMPONENTS
Problem Formulation: HOW THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHING SYSTEM IS DEVELOPED IN THE ECUADORIAN AIR FORCE HEADQUARTERS IN RELATION TO THE EXECUTION OF THE SIX COMPONENTS OF THE CURRICULUM?
General Objective: To apply the six components in order to develop the process of teaching in the English language teaching system in the Ecuadorian Air Force Headquarters.
Specific Objective: • To determine the Institutional objectives … • To design an Alternative Proposal … • To evaluate the components of the curriculum…
Specific Objective: • To determine the incidence of the load schedule … • To coordinate with E.D., implementation… • To gather curricular information of the language teaching that it supports …

ALTERNATIVE PROPOSAL PLANNING AND DESIGNING A SYLLABUS TO THE ENGLISH TEACHING PROCESS IN THE ECUADORIAN AIR FORCE HEADQUARTERS.
Course Development • Developing a course rationale/justification • Describing entry and exit levels • Choosing course content • Sequencing course content • Planning the course content (syllabus and instructional blocks) • Preparing the scope and sequence plan
The Course Rationale • Who is the course for? • What is the course about? • What kind of teaching and learning will take place in the course?
Example of a course rationale “This course is designed to the Ecuadorian Air Force personnel who wish to improve their communications skills in English in order to improve their performance into the Ecuadorian Air Force”
Describing the entry and exit level • To determine the level at which the program will start and the level learners may be expected to reach at the end of the course.
Writing Course • Functions(e.g. describing likes and dislikes) • Topics(e.g. writing about world issues) • Skills(e.g. developing topic sentences) • Processes(e.g. using prewriting strategies) • Text (e.g. writing a business letter)
Speaking Course • Functions (expressing opinions) • Interaction Skills (opening and closing conversations, turn taking) • Topics (current affairs, business topics)
Brainstorming • Are all the suggested topics necessary? • Have any important topics omitted? • Is there sufficient priority been given to the most important areas? • Has enough emphasis been put on the different aspects of the areas identified?
Sequencing Course Content • What range of content will be covered? • To what extent should each topic be studied?
Planning the Course Content • Syllabus Framework • Developing instructional blocks
Syllabus Options • Grammatical or structural syllabus • Functional syllabus • Situational syllabus • Topical or content-based syllabus • Competency-base syllabus • Skills syllabus • Task based syllabus • Integrated syllabus
