The English language functions as a lingua-franca in the world facilitating communication among different nations. The purpose of this review paper is to ascertain the origin of English language and how it developed all over the world by a majority of nations. The study is based on the review of literature available on the history of the language. From the literature it was found that English language originated in Britain in the 5 th century when the Germanic tribe named Angels who invaded from ‘Englaland’ using a language called ‘Englisc’ from which the words ‘England’ and ‘English’ derived. Old English, Middle English, Early Modern English, and Late Modern English were the periods that gave rise to the development of English language. English was a flexible language to adapt many of the vocabulary of other languages and the British Colonization was a major reason for the spread of the language across the world. However, the evolution of English language is so complex that the primitive English language that existed is almost non-existent today 2021-05-01T00:00:00Z http://repository.rjt.ac.lk/handle/123456789/5196 Triangular Framework for Curriculum Development in the Education Sector Dhanapala, Rathnayake Mudiyanselage Curriculum planning and subsequent process of course design and imple- mentation are so important in educational programmes that we simply can- not ignore them. Curriculum is essentially a series of activities and learning outcome goals pertaining to each subject. The main purposes of curriculum development are to improve student learning experiences and enhance out- comes by facilitating quality teaching, identifying a suitable syllabus, and as- sessing learning outcomes. However, educational programmes fail to yield the results of the programmes due to insufficient attention paid to curriculum. Perhaps, the most salient reason for this is the synonymous identification of the terms, curriculum and syllabus. While curriculum is a comprehensive area of study which needs identification of significant disciplines, syllabus could be a factor within the curriculum framework. Literature has proved that possible frameworks or models of curriculum could bring about enormous results. The paper presents a viable curriculum framework mostly suitable for university and the higher education sector with significant areas such as planning, and interrelationships of teaching, learning, assessment, and syllabus. The paper has highlighted the important areas pertaining to curriculum in its frame- work as a model for curriculum which is useful for development, implemen- tation, revision, and evaluation 2021-01-01T00:00:00Z http://repository.rjt.ac.lk/handle/123456789/5195 Listening in the ESL and EFL Setting Dhanapala, R.M. 2011-12-01T00:00:00Z
