A syllabus based on the integration of a number of organising principles. Example: structures, functions, vocabulary and skills.

• A. Multidimensional Syllabus
• B. Modular Syllabus
• C. Linear Syllabus
• D. Linguistic Competence

Answer: (A)

The main idea being tested is designing a syllabus that blends several organizing principles so that structures, functions, vocabulary and skills are taught together. This multidimensional approach mirrors how language works in real communication, where form, meaning, and use interact, helping learners see how a structure serves a function and how vocabulary fits into authentic tasks. It supports integrated practice across listening, speaking, reading, and writing, so learners apply grammar alongside meaning and purpose. By contrast, a linear syllabus follows a single thread in a fixed sequence, which can separate form from use; a modular syllabus divides content into standalone blocks without inherently integrating multiple principles; and linguistic competence is a concept about knowledge of language, not a way of organizing a syllabus.
