Abstract: The Australian Language Levels (ALL) curriculum is being developed as a learner-centered, activities-based approach to second language instruction at all levels. It is activities-based in that learners use the target language in specific activities for specific purposes. Each activity integrates content with process or method, and activities are planned to relate directly to program goals and objectives. A table of language use has been developed to help teachers categorize language use through activity types for syllabus planning. Five broad goals of language learning are targeted: communication, sociocultural understanding, helping students learn how to learn, language and cultural awareness, and general knowledge. Each of these broad goals is translated into a series of specific goals. Syllabuses and curriculum materials based on the ALL model are being developed in Australia in a range of languages. Each syllabus is comprised of modules containing specific goals, general objectives, and suggested activities. The modules are organized either around a theme or topic, or around a skill, genre, text, or specific project. Each syllabus also contains a checklist of content to guide teachers in planning units. A series of questions is provided to stimulate teacher awareness of what communicative teaching is. (MSE)
