Abstract (2. Language): 
New educational curricula are regularly put into practice worldwide; and the issues related to curriculum design are frequently discussed from a pedagogical perspective. However, the processes involved in preparing a statewide English as a foreign language (EFL) curriculum are rarely elaborated from an inside view. As the experiences of program designers may provide insight on meeting the challenges of diverse teaching contexts, this article systematically describes the procedures that took place in preparing an elementary EFL curriculum for Turkish state schools, focusing on the political, pedagogical and contextual factors affecting the implementation. Suggestions and guidelines are offered on the basis of insights arising from the process.

Abstract (Original Language): 
Dünyadaki eğitim sistemlerinde müfredatlar genellikle belirli aralıklarla yenilenmekte ve müfredat geliştirme ile ilgili konular sık sık teorik ve pedagojik açıdan ele alınmaktadır. Ancak, bir ülkedeki yabancı dil olarak İngilizce müfredatının hazırlanmasında geçen süreçlerin müfredatı hazırlayanların kendi gözüyle irdelenip detaylandırıldığı nadir görülmektedir. Farklı deneyimlere sahip müfredat tasarımcılarının görüş ve düşünceleri farklı öğretim bağlamlarına özgü zorlukların nasıl aşılabileceğine dair önemli bilgiler sağlayabileceğinden, bu çalışma Türkiye’deki ilk ve ortaokullarda uygulamaya konulan İngilizce dersi müfredatının hazırlanması sırasında takip edilen süreci sistematik bir şekilde betimlemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Özellikle ilgili müfredatın hazırlanmasına etki eden politik, pedagojik ve bağlamsal etkenlere odaklanılmış olup, bu süreçte ortaya çıkan fikir ve anlayışlar çerçevesinde çeşitli öneri ve talimatlar paylaşılmaktadır.
