curriculum course lesson 辨析
curriculum指課程的統稱，比如九年制義務教育包含語數外史地生等等，這一系列教學大綱要求的課程統稱爲curriculum.
course是指其中一門，比如英語，就是一個獨立的course.
lesson就是每一堂課。比如今天的第一節課是語文課，這個概念就是lesson.
curriculum>course>lesson
課外活動就是extra-curriculum activities,而course不一定非是學校開設的。
拓展：Curriculum Vitae (CV)指簡歷，或學術履歷。內容比resume更加詳盡，用於總結你的教育和學術背景以及教學和研究經驗、發表作品、自我介紹、所獲獎勵，榮譽、政治面貌和其他詳細信息。
