Curriculum Review of Compulsory English- II for Grade XII

Abstract

This review has been carried out in relation to the Compulsory English – II course prescribed for Class XII as a Core English under HSEB. The course is an integrated general English course. To state the general description of the curriculum referred to the class XII as a core course and to point out the strengths and weaknesses of the curriculum to be improved are two major objective of this review. The curriculum is an introductory and integrated course for the upper-intermediate students, those things which are mixed and included here are needed to be a good and an effi cient curriculum. It has tried its best to connect the SLC, Class XI and diploma levels by supplying enough grammar and literature. It is full of interesting and benefi cial topics for the teen-agers that are the positive aspects. In spite of those strengths, there is lack of division of sections or parts, marks allotment, instructional strategies, detail evolutional schemes and period distribution per sections which makes this curriculum much traditional and less scientific.
