The research sheds light on the status of pedagogy, taking the classroom avenue as the spotlight for recognizing educators' manipulation of leaners' efficacy. It draws on the methodology and procedures recommended for the curriculum in hand, "English for Iraq". The curriculum relies on the communicative approach, blended with the audio-lingual approach and guided toward the task-based language teaching. The research was conducted with qualitative and quantitative trend. Research data was analyzed in terms of content analysis by comparing curriculum strategies to authentic classroom learning. The research propounds the main tenets and principles that the teacher is proposed to conduct in presenting classroom activities and achieve syllabus items. The researchers concluded that the teaching methodologies and procedures conducted in classroom are not congenial to the mapped syllabus and designated curriculum. However, the grammar-translation method of language teaching still has a huge influence in language teaching, marginalizing the teaching of communication skills. Learners, specifically the sixth preparatory, are dispersed between school time and remedial courses, between the textbook and substitutive sketches. It is highly recommended that teachers stick to the methodologies and procedures projected for the curriculum in hand and monitor the syllabus items assigned for "The English for Iraq" in the preparatory classes.
