Language Curriculum DesignCrystal-clear and comprehensive yet concise, this text describes the stepsinvolved in the curriculum design process, elaborates and justifies these stepsand provides opportunities for practising and applying them. The descrip-tion of the steps is done at a general level so that they can be applied in a widerange of particular circumstances. The process comes to life through plentifulexamples of actual applications of the steps. Each chapter includes:
• Descriptions of examples from the authors’ experience and from pub-lished research
• Tasks that encourage readers to relate the steps to their own experience
• Case studies and suggestions for further reading that put readers in touchwith others’ experience
Curriculum, or course, design is largely a “how-to-do-it” activity thatinvolves the integration of knowledge from many of the areas in the field ofApplied Linguistics, such as language acquisition research, teaching method-ology, assessment, language description and materials production. Combin-ing sound research/theory with state-of-the-art practice, Language CurriculumDesign is widely applicable for ESL/EFL language education courses aroundthe world.
