INTRODUCTION
The Plan for Educational Reform (1994) and The New Framework for Education in Lebanon (1995) established the principles and guidelines for the new curricula in clear terms. In the area of foreign language education, there was emphasis on creating a citizen who is proficient in at least one foreign language in order to promote openness to and interaction with other cultures. Furthermore, the principle of teaching two foreign languages was established: the first starting at the beginning of schooling, and the second starting in the seventh grade. The curriculum for English as a first foreign language which follows this introduction attempts to translate these established principles and guidelines into a working curriculum that espouses modern theories of second language acquisition and recent trends in English as a foreign language (EFL) curriculum design and teaching methodology.
English Language
PRINCIPLES UNDERLYING THE CURRICULUM

The following principles are held to be true and self-evident: 1. Language learning is learning to communicate. Language is used by its speakers to express themselves, to interact with others, to gain information (academic and otherwise), and to learn about the world around them. 2. Language varies. Speakers of a language are aware of the need to vary language use according to the context of communicative interaction, i.e. language varies with variation in topic, participants, setting, purpose, and medium (verbal or written). Moreover, language varies according to academic domains (content areas) and tasks. 3. Learning a new language is becoming familiar with a new culture. Learners of a new language become aware of new values, norms, thought patterns, and beliefs. As a result of this cultural exposure and of the ensuing analysis of similarities and differences with native culture, learners develop understanding of, respect for, and appreciation of diversity of cultural backgrounds. 4. Language learning is most effective when it takes place through meaningful, interactive tasks. Language learners will thus learn most when they are engaged in meaningful, purposeful activities of social and cognitive nature in the context of the classroom (content-based instruction) and outside it (social settings). 5. Language skills are interdependent. Listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills are not thought of by language users as independent skills; they are rather perceived as interdependent where one skill often activates the other skills as well as the paralinguistic skills for the achievement of effective communication.
English Language
FEATURES OF THE CURRICULUM

Guided by the above basic principles, the curriculum for English as a first foreign language attempts to develop the use of English for three major purposes: social interaction, academic achievement, and cultural enrichment. We believe that the most effective way to achieve these purposes is through the adoption of a thematic, integrated, contentbased approach to teaching and learning. The curriculum embodying this approach is going to be spiral in nature. The same concepts and skills will be taught at various times across the grades, but with increasing levels of complexity and sophistication as we move up. The following features characterize the proposed curriculum and set it apart from, and hopefully above, the current curriculum and other EFL curricula adopted in similar teaching/learning contexts: 1. Students following this curriculum will learn content-related information while acquiring English language skills in listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The emphasis on teaching English for academic purposes entails the development of thinking skills. It is for this reason that the new curriculum, in addition to promoting the development of traditional skills, has also emphasized the development of thinking skills. 2. The new curriculum attempts to develop native-like proficiency in English. More specifically, it stresses both fluency and accuracy, in that order. Learning traditional grammar will thus be delayed till the fourth grade, i.e. after the students have developed basic communicative competence in the language. Accuracy would, hopefully, develop naturally as a result of exposure to proper models of English. 3. The curriculum has set realistic, achievable objectives that the average teacher/material writer can relate to. Furthermore, these objectives have been illustrated with samples of clear, measurable performance tasks that can be easily implemented in the classroom. 4. Language will be presented to students in its proper cultural context. Though language learning will start with universal themes, the particular characteristics of the culture of English-speaking people will be introduced gradually and where appropriate. The purpose of this is to develop cross-cultural openness, tolerance, and understanding. It is for this purpose that the proposed curriculum highlights foreign language literature at all grade levels and includes a special section on cultural awareness skills. 5. The curriculum highlights the role of group work in the development of communicative language skills. It thus stresses the need for the creation of an interactive classroom environment. Many of the objectives and performance tasks included in the curriculum call for pair and group work in line with the cooperative learning model of classroom interaction. 6. Finally, the curriculum emphasizes the development of the proper study skills which will help students develop into independent learners. In summary, the curriculum moves from a system of language education based on rote learning, linguistic correctness, and cramming of information to a system that promotes autonomous learning, thinking skills, and communicative competence.
English Language
PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS
Proper implementation of the new curriculum requires the cooperation of all those involved in the teaching/learning process because it requires radical changes in knowledge, attitude, methodology, instructional materials, and classroom management. The following suggestions are believed to allow for smoother implementation of the proposed curriculum. 1. Close cooperation between EFL and subject matter teachers becomes a necessity. The content area teacher will help make the content more comprehensible, and the language teacher will help language become a facilitator rather than an obstacle to comprehension. 2. A comprehensive staff development program is needed for both EFL and content teachers. The program should include familiarization with theoretical models and methodological orientations as well as practice-teaching activities. 3. EFL teachers should develop at least a laymans knowledge of content area materials. In turn, content area teachers need to improve their communicative skills in English and serve as good models of English language speakers. Having laid down the basis of the curriculum and identified its features and implications for the practitioner, we hope that it turns out to be as effective in practice as we envisage it to be.

II - GENERAL OBJECTIVES OF TEACHING ENGLISH

In accordance with the guidelines set by the Lebanese Ministry of National Education, Youth and Sports, through the National Center for Educational Research and Development as expressed in the Plan for Educational Reform (1994) and the New Framework For Education in Lebanon (1995), which stress the role of foreign language education in developing the Lebanese student humanistically, socially, and nationally in addition to its role in developing cultural openness and cultural exchange, the Committee recommends adoption of the following general objectives for teaching English in Lebanon : 1 - Enabling students to communicate effectively in different situations and settings with native and non-native speakers alike using authentic, appropriate, and correct linguistic forms 2 - Enabling students to communicate effectively in subject matter areas in general, and mathematics and sciences in particular 3 - Equipping students with the requisite linguistic skills for pursuing university education in their fields of specialization 4 - Developing students' critical thinking skills (analytical, synthetic, critical) 5 - Developing intercultural understanding and appreciation 6 - Promoting students' positive attitudes toward the target language and culture 7 - Enhancing students' abilities to work with others
