* A syllabus is a document, not a medium of communication. It's a guide, an outline, and a set of expectations. It's designed to facilitate communication between a teacher and students, but it's not the communication itself.
* Communication happens through interaction. A syllabus might tell you about a class discussion, an essay assignment, or a presentation. But the actual communication occurs during those activities, not just by reading the syllabus.
Think of it this way:
* Syllabus: A map that shows you where to go.
* Communication: The actual journey you take, the conversations you have, and the experiences you share along the way.
The English syllabus is a tool that helps facilitate the communication involved in learning and teaching English. It sets the stage and defines the boundaries, but the real communication happens within the context of the course itself.
