CHAPTER II
The approach can be considered as our starting point or point of view in the learning
process. The main variables in learning activities are teachers and students. There will be
no learning activities if these two variables do not exist. Based on this, the approach in
learning is generally divided into two, namely the learning approach (teacher centered
apporoaches) and (student centered apporoaches). This is in accordance with what was
stated by Kellen, Roy in his book entitled Effective Strategic teaching (1998) which
suggests that there are two approaches in learning activities, namely:

B. What is the definition of syllabus?
Syllabus guides the teacher to plan out classroom activities and not overburden
students with too many concepts. For example, a syllabus is what a tutor hands out to his
students on the first day of the classroom. The syllabus is essential for both the teacher
and the student because it helps students prepare and organize the study material in a way
that facilitates learning at a reasonable pace.2 In addition, it is explained that syllabus
should contain an outline, and a schedule of topics, and many more items of information
as in the following:
1. Basic Information.
- goals/objectives/relevance of course

5. Course or Section Policies
- attendance/tardy
- class participation (if you choose to formally evaluate)
- late/missing assignment
- academic dishonesty
- explicit grading criteria
- expectations of scholarship
- accommodations

In the context of education, techniques refer to specific methods, approaches, or
strategies that educators use to facilitate the teaching and learning process. These techniques
are designed to enhance the understanding, retention, and application of knowledge among
students. They provide educators with practical tools to engage learners, convey information
effectively, and foster a conducive learning environment4.
Overall, techniques are practical methods or approaches that are used to achieve
specific outcomes and require skill and practice to master.

CHAPTER III
CLOSING
A. Conclusions
The conclusion we get from this paper is that approach is the general
framework that guides the teaching and learning process, syllabus is the lesson plan
that details the content and objectives of the course, technique is the specific method
used in teaching, and practice is the activity to reinforce students' understanding and
skills. All these elements are interrelated and contribute to an effective learning
experience in the classroom.
B. Suggestion
Thus, we can convey about the material Knowing the Definition of Approach,
Syllabus, Techniques and Exercises as the discussion of this paper, of course the
shortcomings and weaknesses due to the limited knowledge of the lack of references
or references that we get from this paper. The author hopes that dear readers will give
us constructive suggestions for the perfection of this paper. If there is something
wrong in writing our words, we apologize, hopefully this paper can be useful for all of
us.
