Abstract

T his study aimed at evaluating primary stage English curriculum in light of life skills .  The study identified the important and suitable life skills for primary stage students by a life skills list that was prepared by the researchers and validated by jury members .  The list consisted of twelve  categories of life skills and forty nine  main skills.   The researchers also prepared a content analysis sheet that was conducted on English curriculum specified for fourth year of  primary stage. The content analysis was done in the light of the life skills list . Sentence was used as the unit of analysis for investigating  the extent of life skills availability in the curriculum .  The results of the content analysis revealed that fourth grade primary English curriculum doesn't reflect life skills sufficiently. Thus , the researchers constructed a suggested framework for developing that curriculum and developed the second term six units of it to improve  fourth graders' life skills . In the light of the study's results, the researchers recommended that a lot of attention and interest  should be paid for enhancing students' life skills as  early as possible starting from the primary stage, enhancing students' life skills in all educational stages, integrating life skills in curricula , and  training teachers on teaching life skills .
