Abstract

The aim of this study is to evaluate the 8th grade English lesson learning outcomes and the ontent of reading texts within the scope of 21st century skills. Document analysis, was determined as the research method. P21 21st century learning framework was used as a data collection tool and the data were analyzed by using descriptive analysis. The results of the research revealed that students' critical thinking, communication and collaboration skills were supported the most through learning outcomes. In terms of reading texts, communication, collaboration and entrepreneurship skills are mostly supported. In addition to all these, it was concluded that the distribution of the skills in both learning outcomes and reading texts differs according to language skills. On the other hand, in general it has been understood that most of the learning outcomes and reading texts are insufficient to support the development of 21st century skills.
