TI  - Combining the old and the new: Designing a curriculum based on the Taba model and the global scale of English
AB  - This paper explains the process of designing a curriculum based on the Taba Model and the Global Scale ofEnglish (GSE) in an intensive language education program. The Taba Model emphasizing the involvement of theteachers and the learners in the curriculum development process was combined with the GSE, a psychometrictool measuring language proficiency in a granular structure to develop a context specific curriculum. Thedecisions made, the steps taken and the impact of the new curriculum were explained with their rationales in thepaper. While the developed curriculum is a context specific one, how the Taba model and the scale were adopteddepending on the needs of the context in a bottom up approach can be used as a model for similar languageteaching contexts. There might be lessons and strategies to be taken from the experience here, which might befollowed in the curriculum processes in other institutions.
