In the earlier days, syllabi were designed by some experienced teachers or experts who gotspecialization in particular areas in all the education institutions. The students were graded on themarks scored in the assessment in which some students might score high and some might not be.This type of previous curriculum did not ensure what students need to learn or what they are learningin their classrooms. University Grant Commission (UGC) under MHRD, Government of India, hasalready submitted the final draft under “Quality Improvement Programme, 2018” aim at thedevelopment of “Learning Outcomes Based Curriculum Framework (LOCF)” at UG and PG Levels.The learning outcomes are designed to help students understand the objectives of the course providedto them. It is a framework based on the expected learning outcomes (such as disciplinary knowledge,communication skills, critical thinking, problem-solving, analytical reasoning, research-related skills,etc.) that are expected to be attained by the students at the completion of their graduation. In thisresearch paper, the researcher attempts to elaborate about Curriculum designing based on theapproaches provided by J.C. Richards and Learning-Outcomes based Curriculum Framework. Thisresearch paper also has taken into consideration the analysis of curriculum development for thesubject offered by Department of English in Faculty of Commerce at first year undergraduate courses(UG Level) from the academic year 1979-80 till 2019-20.
