The author has been creating and teaching a college
EFL curriculum for some years now, and an emerging focus
in this work has been in three areas:
1. Increasing learner awareness of structure and its
signals through listening, speaking and writing
tasks.
2. Increasing learner awareness of structure through
semantic mapping in reading tasks.
3. Encouraging learner use of semantic mapping for
reading, for organizing data, and for the planning of
writing.
The knowledge structure symbols used in task groups 2.
and 3. provide an inroad into signalling knowledge
structure in hypertext (see Appendix 1).
