ENGLISH LANGUAGE CURRICULUM

FOR MIDTERM BREAK

The English Language Curriculum for Midterm Break is planned in two parts as 9 -10
th
th
grades and 11 -12 grades. The duration for each part is determined as 20 hours. The
th
th
curriculum has been planned in accordance with the descriptive and pedagogical principles
of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). It is designed
to assist foreign language teachers in creating an engaging and interactive classroom
environment as well as students in understanding the importance of developing foreign
language learning for their personal, social and cultural development. The curriculum
aims to teach students how to use English as a communication tool by giving numerous
opportunities to practise the language through the suggested materials named Skills-
Based Activity Book, English Games & Activities and Activity Book. According to students’
mental development levels, the curriculum is meant to assist them to develop their
cognitive, emotional, psychomotor and intercultural communication abilities.

Regarding the implementation of the English Language Curriculum for Midterm Break,
there is not a certain approach prescribed in accordance with the Common European
Framework of Reference for Languages. CEFR regards learners as social agents to
achieve everyday tasks using the language, which goes with the action-oriented approach,
the essence of which is what you can do with the language rather than what or how much
you know. As long as teachers consider the needs, levels and interests of students, the
methodology is up to them. Therefore, they are expected to select and adapt the learning
outcomes in accordance with the needs, interests and expectations of students.
