| Résumé : | The involvement of students' agency in designing oral language syllabi in higher education English language teaching is a crucial aspect that has significant implications for learner engagement and learning outcomes. However, EFL learners often face various challenges in exercising their agency in this process. This thesis explores the impact of involving students' agency in designing oral language syllabi in higher education English language teaching. The research uses surveys and interviews to understand how student input affects engagement and learning outcomes. The findings suggest that empowering students in syllabus design can increase their investment in course content and activities, leading to improved attendance and satisfaction. However, the study also identifies potential challenges, such as differing expectations between students and teachers. For instance, learners may want to focus more on conversational fluency and pronunciation practice, while instructors aim to maintain academic rigour and cover core grammatical and lexical components. Despite these tensions, the thesis provides recommendations for effectively engaging students in the syllabus co-construction process. This includes strategies for balancing student agency with pedagogical expertise to ensure the final syllabus meets both learner needs and institutional standards. Overall, the study highlights the benefits and complexities of empowering EFL students to play an active role in shaping the oral language curriculum. |
