Text Book: English for Civil Engineering
Soge, P. (1991). English For Civil Engineering.
Yogyakarta: Atma Jaya University.
Based on website
exploration, our group learned from:
Themes or Topics syllabus
are what the language is used to talk or write about: personal (family, food, hobbies, etc). Professional (topics specific to professions) Sociocultural (educational, political, etc). Topics and themes are used interchangeably (themes may be
broader than topics and may include a few topics).
Soge’s (1991) “English For Civil Engineering” fits this
definition of Topics or Themes syllabus, therefore our group decided that this
text book is developed based on topics or themes syllabus.
According to White :
“Regards the notion of ‘topic’ as a major element in syllabus design: “The
traditional four skills and the cognitive skills involved in the expression of
purpose and meaning and in the creation and interpretation of messages provide
the basis for a topic-based syllabus design”.
White’s description on how topics or themes
syllabus is organized fits the way Soge’s (1991) organize the material in
textbook. The textbook focus on language for spesific subjects/domains related to academic study and language
