A New EFL Syllabus

Meanwhile, an official high school English language textbook has never been published.
Syllabus Tenets and Underlying Principles
In the spirit of creating the 'New School', FL's curriculum is being reformed. Reprinted from 'The things you do to know: An introduction to the pedagogy of Melina Kostourou, Using Authentic Material to Design Learning Scenarios for the New EFL Syllabus in Senior High School.

Additionally, according to the teacher's guide (Education Policy Institute, 2018), the coursebook is built on its foundation. Throughout my years of teaching, I have often encountered situations where students argue about the 'correct accent', as they call it.

Classroom Observation
Active learning, the main goal of the course, was also achieved through the enthusiastic participation and interest of the students. Overall, I think that the aspects that students valued the most were the topics and the learning process in and out of the mainstream.
Questionnaire Analysis

Discussion
Regarding the Learning by Design principles, all the knowledge processes were used during the design of the learning scenarios. Furthermore, a quite satisfactory percentage of the class declared that they were encouraged to use English outside the classroom, which is the case for every language classroom. In addition, the vast majority of students admitted that they were encouraged to use ICT in lessons, which section 1.2.3.

I have a dream that one day every valley will be lifted up and every hill and mountain will be made low, the rough places will be leveled and the crooked places will be made straight; and the glory of the Lord shall. With this faith we will be able to cut a stone of hope out of the mountain of despair.
