The document discusses 5 curriculum ideologies that shape language teaching: 1) Academic rationalism, 2) Social and economic efficiency, 3) Learner-centeredness, 4) Social reconstructionism, and 5) Cultural pluralism. It also discusses the differences between goals/aims and objectives in curriculum planning. Goals describe the general purposes of a curriculum, aims describe changes a program seeks to bring about, and objectives provide more specific descriptions of purposes in terms of observable and measurable learning outcomes. The document cautions that objectives can trivialize teaching and be product-oriented. It suggests competencies as an alternative, describing observable behaviors needed for real-world activities.
