This current study contemplates the perenniality of the 2022 Revised National Curriculum of English by comparing its achievement standards to those of the 2015 Revised National Curriculum of English. For this purpose, the items of the National English Listening Ability Test for Secondary Schools created under the 2015 Revised National Curriculum of English were utilized as a main tool to analyze the relevance of the achievement standards of the two curricula. Despite the discrepancy in the categorization of communicative competence, the results of the study show that the achievement standards of the two curricula were highly in line with each other. The results derive some educational suggestions as follows. First, it is necessary to provide more elaborated and systematic guidelines to apply the achievement standards of the new curriculum in developing the National English Listening Ability Test items. Second, subsequent studies are needed to employ the pre-existing items of the National English Listening Ability Test in the secondary English classes under the 2022 Revised National Curriculum of English. Third, an acceptable environment should be fostered to settle down the new curriculum in English classrooms.
