Abstract :Used in various disciplines, a SWOT analysis is one of the essential tools for identifying needs in curriculum development. Given the current ongoing efforts to develop new curricula in Lebanon, this research becomes particularly relevant. This study highlights various challenges in the English language curriculum in Lebanon. It aims to provide valuable insights for Lebanese decision-makers involved in curriculum development. The research used the phenomenology method, a qualitative approach where twelve interviews with twelve grade 12 English language teachers were conducted. These teachers shared their views on the strengths, limitations, potentialities, and risks concerning the current grade 12 English language curriculum. The results showed that deficiencies and risks outweigh strengths and opportunities. In general, this research examines the general shortcomings of the English language curriculum, particularly for grade 12, and identifies areas needing urgent improvement.Keywords : Curriculum Development, Lebanon, SWOT Analysis, Phenomenology
