The book is divided into 3 main parts: The first includes some general considerations to be taken into account when designing the Syllabus for English (the Foundations). For this part the main sources have been the "Common European Framework for Languages", various articles from the Internet TESL Journal and from ERIC (Education Resources Information Centre, of the US Department of Education). The second part (some Guidelines) aims to give candidates exactly that, some guidelines to follow when planning their syllabus, units and teaching sessions for ESO. Finally, the third part includes 2 examples of syllabus design, one for 1st of ESO, the other one for 4th of ESO. These two examples are just that, examples for a specific area, a specific school and a specific class, taking into account what has been said under "the Foundations" and following "some Guidelines" in the second part. The aim is to give candidates and Secondary English teachers in general ideas on how to organise their syllabus design and the planning of their didactic units.1Syllabus Design: The Foundations 1.
