7. Curriculum
Curriculum is an instrument to achieve the goal of education. Curriculum covers program focus, instruction media, material organization, learning strategy, class
management, and the role of the teacher Arieh Lewy in Lccptc. 2008 A curriculum in a school context refers to the whole body of knowledge that
children acquire in schools Richards, 2001:39, while Rodgers 1989 in
Richards 2001 :39 comments :
Curriculum is all those activities in which children engage under the auspices of the school. This includes not only what people learn, but how they learn it,
how teachers help them learn, using what supporting materials, styles and methods of assessment, and in what kind of facilities.

as a framework or a set of guidelines for the teaching of a subject area – in our
case of language – in a broad and varied context.
BSNP 2006:1751 defines : “ Curriculum is a set of plan and arrangement of objective, content, and lesson material, and also manner that is used as the
guidance of learning activities to achieve the aim of education “. Curriculum is used as a guidance in every learning activity to achieve the
determined aim. To see the level of achievement, it needs evaluation. Therefore the evaluation of education is one of the main components which can not be
separated from education plan.
8. Syllabus
Syllabus is a more particularized document that addresses a specific audience of learners and teacher, a particular course of study or a particular series of
textbooks. Ideally in this sense, a curriculum should be implemented through a variety of syllabuses and each of these syllabuses should be compatible with the
overall curriculum Celce-Murcia, 2000:185 Richards 2001:2 states that a syllabus is a specification of the content of a
course of instruction and list what will be taught and tested. Feez et.al 2002 define :
A Syllabus is an explicit and coherent plan for a course of study. The syllabus is a guide or map for the teacher and the learners which may
need to be altered once the course commences. A syllabus is constructed by selecting and sequencing content, based on explicit objectives. It is a
public document, usually prepared by teachers and negotiated with learners. It specifies what is to be taught in any particular course of study
