Richards, J. C. (2001). Curriculum development in language teaching. CUP.
Ch.6 Course planning and syllabus design pp. 145-197.
The course content is mapped into a scope and sequence. I have taught 7 courses from sophomores to seniors across two semesters in a university. I consider these 7 courses as an entirety which covers the basic core of the Chinese language itself and Chinese linguistics, so I apply the concept of ‘scope and sequence’ to these 7 courses. According to semester and year of a student, he or she has been taught from phonetics, vocabulary through grammar to pragmatics step by step before graduation. It is very helpful for me and students to locate where we are right now in the course of learning Chinese and Chinese linguistics.
