Notional Functional Syllabus
The Notional Functional Syllabus is based on the pragmatics of learning another language. It is structured on the functions of language in a culture. Because "notional" means "theoretical," "functional" mean "authentic tasks," and "syllabus" means "an outline or points of interest in a study," a Notional-Functional Syllabus is a theory of actions for the study of a second or foreign language. It cannot be called a methodology, because it does not delineate specific teaching methods.
Communicative language teaching came from the Notional-Functional Syllabus, but a Notional-Functional Syllabus cannot be called Communicative language teaching because it doesn't teach communicative competence.
What the Notional-Functional Syllabus is made to do is to give what should be focused on for language learners. If there were a Notional-Functional Syllabus book, some of the chapters would be like this in order.
