The Curriculum Development in In- service Education of Secondary School English Teachers

As the linguistic and language teaching theories develop rapidly, the in-service education of secondary school English teachers is becoming a key issue in the curriculum development of teacher education. Having received academic training as English majors, secondary school English teachers usually like classroom discussions and analytical learning. In addition, they have definite personal goals for teacher education. These features entail the task-based syllabus and content syllabus of the process model in the curriculum development, because these syllabuses enable the teacher-learners to enhance their abilities of language communication, language teaching and language research in performing tasks and learning linguistic theories. In the implementation of the task-based syllabus and content syllabus, there are eight principles: (1) field-based, (2) theories related with practices, (3) addressing the issues of secondary school English teaching, (4) lectures complemented by classroom discussions, (5) integrating content learning with language learning, (6) keeping pace with modern teaching technology, (7) competence-based, and (8) creative learning.
