Description
This book provides a comprehensive, contextualized approach to curriculum creation, design, development, and evaluation for Intensive English Programs. The book starts by guiding the reader through the important but often overlooked steps of contextualizing their current or future language curriculum to give decision makers the full picture of what their curriculum is intended to accomplish. Subsequent chapters break down the popular ADDIE (Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, and Evaluate) model of curricular design into meaningful units focused on learner and context analysis, learning outcomes, assessments, materials, and implementation and evaluation processes. Accessible and engaging chapters include a variety of prompts, activities, and summaries to support learning and implementation.
With instruction on how to build a language curriculum from scratch and insights for changing or improving an existing curriculum, this book is a key resource for instructors and program administrators in language programs as well as essential reading in TESOL methods and language curriculum design courses.

Reviews / Votes
"This is a very timely book. This book lays out the ADDIE process for curriculum construction and likens it to building a solid house in a very principled approach backed by solid examples and time-proven steps. It also recognizes and accounts for a variety of settings for the multi-faceted types of English for Specific Purposes that more and more IEPs have needed to adapt to. This book will be a great introduction to graduate students and an even better refresher for experienced language school administrators."--Gordon Clark, Director and Assistant Dean, Intensive English Language Institute, International Affairs, University of North Texas, USA
