"Preparing the Scope and Sequence Plan"

There are processes involved in the planning and development which are not linear but may rather work simultaneously in order to develop a course or a set of instructional materials focused on the target when going by a language program.

The following below is one of the processes:

Ø  Preparing the scope and sequence plan (description of course after planned and organized; consist of units and required time)

The process of preparing the scope and sequence plan regards to what it is done after a course is planned and organized. It implies a full description of the course in terms of listing the modules or perhaps units and with that the content. Once the content per unit or module as been described, the teaching time per block speculated to fulfill the task is necessary

Here below is one example:

1. DESCRIPTION OF COURSE
