ABSTRACT

This paper aims to lay out a curriculum blueprint for developing the National English Curriculum for the integration of the Liberal Arts and the Sciences, and report on some suggestions for its development and implications for teaching. First, English as an International Language (EIL) should be adopted as “an established variety of English” among the three options proposed by Matsuda and Friedrich (2011). Second, learning goals in the new English curriculum should reflect its some connections to social studies, math, science, the arts, and other disciplines. Third, achievement standards for English in the curriculum should be restructured to consider its constituents as well as its presentational format. Fourth, the scope of the subjects of communication and vocabulary level are discussed. Last, teaching and learning, and assessment methods that focus upon students’ engagement and collaboration in class are addressed.
