Curriculum Research and Development: French Language in Nigeria Since 1859

Abstract

In the write-up, we can see that the concept of curriculum embraces all learning experiences, their planning, execution and evaluation under the supervision of a school system. This means that curriculum is an umbrella term that connects teaching, learning objectives, content, methods, evaluation, the equipment and personnel required to carry out the curriculum in action. The implication is that adequate planning and analysis of a curriculum are carried out in order to ensure that goals and objectives of a curriculum are realized in an effective manner, adopting appropriate content organization and designs. Also, we have observed that the development of the French Language curriculum needs a continuous updating in the face of emerging technological innovations in the area of language development across the globe.
