Although words can appear as single items which are
combined in a sentence, they can also occur in two-or-more
item groups. They often combine with each other in ways which
competent speakers of the language recognize instantly.
Word combinations (also known as collocations) have
become a subject of great interest in the recent past.
Collocation is the way in which words co-occur – combinations
which, through custom and practice, have become to be seen
as normal and acceptable. It is immediately apparent that some
words can live together, others cannot. We say fast asleep, and
this is an acceptable collocation, but fast awake is not.
The chunking of language suggests that talking about
vocabulary exclusively in terms of words is not sufficient
to account for the different kinds of meaning unit that the
language has at its disposal.
One example of the collocation named phrasal verb can
be found in alternative:

Within word classes, there are a number of restrictions. Knowledge of these allows competent speakers to produce well-formed sentences. Speakers of British English might say There isn’t any furniture in the room, but would not say There aren’t any furnitures in the room because furniture is almost always an uncountable noun.
An example of a well-formed sentence with an uncountable noun is:

Fala e escrita, como formas de manifestação da linguagem,
ocorrem em ambientes sociais distintos, com exigências
específicas quanto à sintaxe e às estruturas textuais. Devido
às suas próprias formas textuais e genéricas, fala e escrita
diferem quanto às suas estruturas e funções características,
fazendo com que, no âmbito do ensino, haja uma estreita
ligação entre linguagem e cognição. Fala e escrita, por
conseguinte, compõem modelos cognitivos distintos e que
estão disponíveis para seus usuários. Uma vez que essas
formas de manifestação da linguagem são diversificadas, a
preocupação com sua delimitação e nomeação traduz-se na
noção de gêneros discursivos de Bakhtin (1992).
Bakhtin concebe os gêneros do discurso como tipos de
enunciados criados dentro dos vários campos da atividade
humana. Consoante tal perspectiva, a linguagem é aprendida
por meio de enunciados concretos, ouvidos e reproduzidos na
comunicação verbal. Cada um dos vários gêneros apresenta
suas próprias exigências em termos de conteúdo, de estrutura
e de sequências linguísticas que os compõem. Todos esses
aspectos devem ser aprendidos mediante práticas sociais que
desenvolvam as capacidades de linguagem dos indivíduos e
as estratégias de aprendizagem.

The story of American literature begins in the early 1600s, long before there were any “Americans”. The earliest writers were Englishmen describing the English exploration and colonization of the New World. Thomas Hariot’s Briefe and True Report of the New-Found Land of Virginia (1588) was only the first of such works. Back in England, people planning to move to Virginia and New England would read the books as travel guides. But this was dangerous because such books often mixed facts with fantasy. For example, one writer wrote that he had seen lions in Massachusetts. It’s probable that these “true reports” had a second kind of reader. People could certainly read them as tales of adventure and excitement. Like modern readers of science fiction, they could enjoy imaginary voyages to places they could never visit in reality.

Underlying the traditional linear syllabus is the notion that learning is a process of mastering each item perfectly, one at a time. In metaphorical terms, it was believed that a language develops in the same way as a building is constructed – one (linguistic) brick at a time.
However, the complexity of the acquisition process revealed by a growing body of second language acquisition research led some syllabus designers to argue that language development is basically an organic process. According to this metaphor, a new language develops in a way comparable to plants growing in a garden rather than a building being constructed. Learners do not acquire each item perfectly, one at a time, but numerous items imperfectly, all at once.
Needs analysis
With the advent of Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) in the 1970s, a very different syllabus approach was proposed by a number of linguists. This approach began, not with lists of grammatical, phonological and lexical features, but with an analysis of the communicative needs of the learner. Proponents of CLT argued that it was neither necessary nor possible to include every aspect of the target language in the syllabus. Rather, syllabus content should reflect the communicative purposes and needs of the learners.
Needs-based course design, particularly when it results in rigidly specified learning outcomes, has been heavily criticized. Widdowson (1983), for example, claims that such courses are exercises in training rather than in education because learners can only do those things for which they have been specifically prepared.
