Thu, 01 Aug 2019 Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas 4 Ways How to Design an ESL Syllabus In the existing literature on language education, the terms CURRICULUM and SYLLABUS are sometimes used interchangeably, sometimes differentiated, and sometimes misused and misunderstood.

The curriculum is a far broader concept. The curriculum is all those activities in which children engage under the auspices of the school.
