The Legacy of Origin and Development of English Language
Dhanapala, R.M.
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

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
