Summary/Abstract: This study aims to figure out how many words there are and how frequently they are used in the learning outcomes in Turkish language curricula (2005 and 2019), and to reveal the codes that form the background of curriculum learning outcomes. To do this, the aforementioned curricula was examined in terms of the word in the learning outcomes, and the words were classified by counting them in a way to include word groups. Certain criteria were taken into account upon doing this. The words were then transferred onto computer, and counted within the context of language skills. Explanations under the learning outcomes were not included in the count. As this aims to clarify the language of the curriculum, both total and different words in learning outcomes were looked at. Moreover, they were classified under different topics – from words that reveal the relationship between language skills (i.e. listening, speaking, reading, and writing) to text analysis and words related to technology use. This was a qualitative study, and document analysis was used. Word frequency analysis was used to words. All of the target research questions were answered. It was revealed that words that shape learning outcomes can be classified under different headings. Evaluations were made about what the language of the curriculum means and some findings were discussed. In addition, some suggestions have been made that those working in the field, alongside institutions, and researchers could make use of.
