الملخص

First of all, I’d like to say that wondering what is being learned first in a second language, definitely English, is the first question among many ones that teachers arise and ask. In other words, the priorities of choosing English content in the course of the teaching processes as well as the most suitable teaching ways are continuously under discussion and I think this regard needs lots of hypotheses and experiments. Preparing a curriculum for teaching English to Iraqi students includes various levels, stages, methods, modifications, and fields commensurate with students’ interests and passion for learning, which leads to the optimal result for achieving academic and educational goals alike and at the same time. In addition, preparing the best English curriculum for students by selecting the very suitable methods of teaching by teachers can result in an exemplary learning environment. This paper can be useful, not only in Iraq, but I think to all teachers and students who live in the Middle East. This paper is a serious and actual attempt of mentioning a number of criteria within the teaching-learning processes for the benefit of both teachers and students, concerning preparing the best curricula for teaching and learning English in primary, middle, and secondary schools.
