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)

Integrating several organizing principles into a syllabus means planning units where grammar structures, communicative functions, vocabulary, and skills are taught together in a coherent whole. This holistic, interconnected approach is the hallmark of a multidimensional syllabus. It reflects how language is actually used, with form, meaning, and use all playing a part at once. The other options don’t fit because a modular syllabus splits content into separate modules that can be taught independently, a linear syllabus follows a single, sequential path, and linguistic competence is a concept describing what a language user can do, not a type of syllabus.
