Case Studies in Language Curriculum Design

<p>Case studies are a powerful pedagogical tool for illuminating constructs and models in real-life contexts. Covering a wide range of teaching-learning contexts and offering in-depth analyses of ESL/ELT language curriculum design issues this casebook is distinctive and unique in that each case draws on and is clearly linked to a single model presented in Nation and Macalister’s <em>Language Curriculum Design</em> (www.routledge.com/9780415806060) giving the book a high degree of coherence. A short commentary by the editors after each case highlights features of note and/or issues arising from it. This is a versatile text designed to work as a companion to <em>Language Curriculum Design </em>(adding meaning and depth to the model presented there by relating it to a range of applications) as a stand-alone text or as a resource for language teacher trainees teacher educators practicing teachers program administrators and materials writers in the field.</p>
