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.
