Abstract
This article provides a comprehensive examination of the methodologies employed in curriculum development for language teaching, tracing the evolution of curriculum design from product-oriented approaches to contemporary, process-oriented frameworks. Drawing upon decades of research in curriculum theory, applied linguistics, educational planning, and program evaluation, the article synthesizes major theoretical frameworks including Tyler's rational-linear model, Stenhouse's process model, and Nation and Macalister's curriculum design framework.
