It's an over-simplification: Focusing too much on specific situations may limit the breadth of language knowledge that students need.

It's teacher dependent: The success of this syllabus heavily depends on the teacher’s ability to create and manage relevant situations.

It's time consuming: Designing and preparing situational contexts that are engaging and educational can be time-intensive for teachers.

It has difficulties with assessment: It may be harder to assess learners’ proficiency through traditional exams, as the focus is on situational fluency rather than grammar or vocabulary.

Practical learning: Encourages students to use language in context, which improves their fluency and communicative competence.

Increased motivation: Learners tend to be more motivated when they see the practical use of the language they're learning.

Flexibility: Teachers can adapt the syllabus based on learners’ needs, interests, and real-life circumstances.

Contextual learning: Encourages learners to think about language within the context of actual situations, which can improve retention and understanding.
