This curriculum design outlines an intensive English language learning program tailored for intermediate learners over a four-week period. It emphasizes a communicative and task-based approach that integrates grammar, vocabulary, speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills. Each week focuses on real-life themes such as daily life, social interaction, travel, and professional communication, with progressive grammar and vocabulary development. The program includes varied assessment types and modern instructional methods to enhance learner engagement and fluency. This curriculum serves as a practical framework for educators seeking to improve learners' comprehensive language proficiency in a short time.
