Efl Vs Esl

What is the problem with the new curriculum?
Some teachers say it is difficult ,others claim that it is taken from the famous series of way ahead.while others think that it has lots of vocabulary .Well to be honest I was wonderng all these probelms could be solved by training the students or may be by devoting more time to prepare lessons.But it was the simplest of answers ....ofcourse this curriculum is not for learners of english as a foreign language it is for second language learners :D

I studied English with the old books
I didn't get any benefits except the grammar
They were so boaring

Now I hope they get some benefits.. Although
I saw the books .. and they were so
exciting to read and learn

But the students never accept
English .. So the problem is the
students .. I wish them all the
luck and success in this subject

And thank you for posting such
useful post

Keep on that way
I hope to see more

Well it seems like youve missed my point here my dearest colleague.I am not talking about the curriculum's core i am asking :Is it meant to address Saudi students ?i am arguing about the fact that this curriculum is designed for speakers of english as a second language and our students are for surespeakers of english as a foriegn language .
Thank you for responding and I hope You get my point now :D

Hi ... yeah I misunderstand all the subject
Sorry ^_^

But I hope I can get your point now

As you said, they designed the curriculum
for learners of English as a second language
and that what they had said about English
curriculums. So I think it's better than EFL
???what do you think
