we can see that formal syllabus gives priority to how the text of
language is realized and organized it gives only a supportive role to the
meaning of ideas conveyed through language (ideational knowledge) and

systematic features of the textual nature of any language as driving force
or carrier of the other two.

language regardless of how we organize it, then there may seem little
point in our designing a syllabus in the first place.
