Müfredat İngilizce

English language curriculum has been revised in accordance with the general objectives of Turkish National Education as defined in the Basic Law of the National Education No. 1739, along with the Main Principles of Turkish National Education. The present revision includes two major dimensions with three sub-dimensions for each, as follows.

(İngilizce öğretim programı, Türk Milli Eğitiminin Temel İlkeleri ile birlikte 1739 Sayılı Milli Eğitim Temel Kanununda tanımlanan Türk Milli Eğitiminin genel amaçlarına uygun olarak revize edilmiştir. Mevcut revizyon, aşağıdaki gibi her biri için üç alt boyut içeren iki ana boyutu içermektedir.)

1. Revision of the theoretical framework; a. Reviewing the curriculum with regards to values education b. Including the basic skills as themes c. Expanding certain subsections, such as testing and evaluation, and suggestions.

2. Revision of each grade by; a. Revision of the target language skills and their linguistic realizations b. Evaluation and the update of the contexts, tasks and activities c. Analysis and general update of the curriculum in terms of functions and forms covered.

To provide a high-quality English language education for primary and lower secondary students in Turkey, a periodic revision of the courses is essential to maintain an up-to-date and effective curriculum. Furthermore, the recent changes in Turkish educational system, which entailed a transition from the 8+4 educational model to the new 4+4+4 system, have led to an immediate need for the redesign of current curricula. With respect to English language education, in particular, this system mandates that English instruction be implemented from the 2nd grade onward, rather than the 4th grade; therefore, a new curriculum accommodating the 2nd and 3rd grades was necessary, which led the preparation of the previous version of this curriculum. The present revision, not a drastic one, primarily aims at updating the curriculum with regards to the views obtained from the teachers, parents and academicians. This objective shaped the nature of the second revision.Basically, the curriculum was reviewed and revised in line with the pedagogic philosophy of both basic skills and values education, which has been a minor revision in that the English language education curriculum focuses on developing the language skills and proficiency without any concrete course content.
