Curriculum and Characteristics of English Teaching and Learning Environment

The objectives of the English curriculum of Grades 2 to 12 are to expand the basic communicative skills pupils have gained through the integration of the four skills.
İn English as in any other subject area, the material must have relevance to students’ daily lives.
Therefore, language learning must be carried out in context; that is, it must be used in the course of everyday interactions, for true communicative purposes, rather than practiced as an abstract exercise.
Learners/users engage in activities which require actual communication between peers or between students and their teacher, such as creating a game as a group and then playing it with classmates, rather than rehearsing prepared material (e.g., taking turns reading a printed dialog from a textbook or reciting memorized lists of verb forms)
The curriculum covers a wide age period, between six and thirteen, and thus developmentally speaking, the curriculum has to serve young learners and adolescents.
