This volume makes a distinctive contribution to the conception of the syllabus in communicative language teaching. The author considers both Nort American and European currents of throught : while there are obviosly great differences in interest and emphasis, there is also a tendency to convergence which she demonstrates in this illuminating work. The first part of The Communicative Syllabus consists of an overall discussion of certain directions in the development of linguistic theory that are crucial to the understanding of communicative language teaching and the design of communicative syllabus.
