A syllabus designed in units of material (or modules) based on language or content, which can be studied in any order.

• A. Modular Syllabus
• B. Linear Syllabus
• C. Multidimensional Syllabus
• D. Local Revision

Answer: (A)

A modular syllabus breaks the curriculum into self-contained units called modules that focus on specific language content or skills and can be studied in any order. This format lets learners tailor their path to goals, interests, and time constraints, since each module has its own objectives, activities, and assessment and doesn’t require completing others first. In contrast, a linear syllabus follows a fixed sequence where progression depends on moving through topics in a set order. The modular approach is especially helpful for personalization and flexibility, while other terms describe different ideas that don’t capture the reorderable, independent-unit structure.
