Developing a Teaching English CuriculumThe very thought of developing a teaching curricula brings out unknown latent fears. A gigantic task too many will shun; a challenge few will take on;especially the uninitiated! When this task was first brought to me by Bob, I shuddered.
Onerous as it may seems, after scanning the University of Cambridge website,my fears slowly dissipated. There are 5 levels from KET to CPE and all I needed to do was to look at them and evaluate the contents taught at each level for its relevancy to my remit.
Once, it can be decided what should be taught at the various levels that we would be developing; then the evaluation tests can be developed as well as the lesson plans.
It is not as easy as it seems and it will take some planning time and putting on thinking caps to handle the task satisfactorily.
As they say, "How do you eat an elephant?" The short answer: Piece by piece!
