Which English term matches the German phrase 'Lehrplan, Curriculum'?

• A. curriculum
• B. studienprogramm, lehrprogramm
• C. Semester
• D. Studienjahr

Answer: (A)

The main concept here is matching the educational planning term. Lehren plan and Curriculum describe the organized set of courses, topics, and learning goals that make up an educational program. In English, the standard word for that overall program content is curriculum. It covers what students are expected to learn and the sequence of courses or modules they take.

The other options point to time frames or less standard translations. Semester refers to half-year periods within an academic year, not the content you’re expected to study. Studienjahr means an academic year, again a time frame rather than the program’s content. Studienprogramm or Lehrprogramm would be closer to “study program” or “teaching program,” but the conventional English term for the planned content of a program is curriculum. Syllabus would be more appropriate for the outline of a single course rather than an entire program.
