Curriculum & Syllabus

In a follow-up project, EAQUALS members revised the Self-help Guide prepared earlier by Maria Matheidesz and Frank Heyworth, and added a set of case studies to illustrate actual experiences of CEFR-orientated curriculum development at seven very different EAQUALS member institutions. The purpose of these manuals is to assist school managers who are carrying out or planning a review of the curriculum and or syllabuses.
As further support for curriculum and syllabus development in English as a foreign language, EAQUALS and the British Council recently launched a ‘Core Inventory for English' based on research into the contents of popular textbooks and the views of a cross-section of teachers of English in EAQUALS and British Council teaching centres.
