Which syllabus is described as focusing on lexical outcomes?

• A. Lexical syllabus
• B. Product-oriented syllabus
• C. Grammar-translation syllabus
• D. Structural-syllabus

Answer: (A)

The main idea is a syllabus built around vocabulary and word combinations as the primary learning targets. In a lexical syllabus, content is organized by lexical items—single words, multiword chunks, fixed expressions, and collocations—so learners focus on learning usable sequences of language rather than just grammatical forms. The aim is for students to produce natural, fluent speech by using ready-made word patterns and phrases in real contexts. This focus on lexicon and chunks distinguishes it from grammatically driven approaches (which emphasize rules and structures) and from product- or form-centered syllabi, where the end result or the mastery of forms is the priority. So the description aligns with the idea of a lexical syllabus, which centers on lexical outcomes.
