Now in its second edition, Language Curriculum Design describes the
steps involved in the curriculum design process, elaborates and
justifies these steps, and provides opportunities for practising and
applying them. Crystal-clear and comprehensive yet concise, the steps
are laid out at a general level so that they can be applied in a wide
range of particular circumstances.
Updated throughout with cutting-edge research and theory, the second
edition contains new examples on curriculum design and development and
expanded attention on environment analysis, needs analysis, and
programme evaluation. The process comes to life through plentiful
examples of actual applications from the authors' experience and from
published research. Each chapter also includes tasks that encourage
readers to relate the steps to their own experience, and case studies
and suggestions for further reading.
Combining sound research/theory with state-of-the-art practice,
Language Curriculum Design is widely applicable for ESL/EFL language
education courses around the world.
