Abstract
Due to the demanding changes of the 21st century, there is a need for students to acquire life
skills that can ensure their future success and aid them when facing challenges; hence, one of
the direct ways of fostering those skills in students is through the activities presented in their
curriculum. This research's main objective is to examine the role of the English curriculum in
fostering preparatory stage students' essential life skills, especially critical thinking, problemsolving,
emotional intelligence, and effective communication skills; to do so, this study covered
those skills in terms of their definitions, importance, and inclusion in preparatory stage English
curriculum. Moreover, a mixed method approach was adopted using a Likert's scale survey as a
tool on a non-random sample of the first and second preparatory stage students. Findings show
that while the English curriculum includes activities that can help students develop those skills,
these activities are not practically used in classrooms. Hence, recommendations for fixing this
gap between the intended outcomes of the curriculum and the practical implementation inside
the classroom were made.
