Description
This very practical and accessible book provides comprehensive coverage of key terms in language syllabus design and materials development as two areas integral to the effectiveness of language education programs. These terms create spaces for university students, teachers, researchers, and professionals to express and exchange their ideas based on common ground and with largely agreed-upon perceptions of each dimension of syllabus design and materials development. This book provides a clear and concise definition of each of these terms and their varied conceptualisations. It will serve as an essential source for anyone engaging with developing a language education curriculum, studying it, and practicing it. As such, the book will appeal to curriculum researchers, language educators, and students of applied linguistics.
