Teachers as Course Developers

Cambridge Language Education

by Kathleen Graves (Editor)

This is a book about how language teachers themselves rather than curriculum specialists develop and implement their own courses. The paperback edition illuminates the process of course development through the narratives of six ELT teachers who have designed courses in widely varying contexts worldwide. Graves provides a framework for course design and examines how these six teachers have utilized or departed from the framework in meeting the challenges of their particular situations. Each narrative is followed by an analysis and a set of tasks that direct the reader's attention to a particular aspect of the framework.

[Yemima Yulia]

Highly recommended for teachers who wants to improve their skill in designing a course. reading this book is like having valuable discussion and sharing with fellow teachers, have a chance to get some useful input while thinking more about your own challenge in providing a successful course for your students.

[Patricia Graham]

Overall, a nice guide for current and future teachers, filled with theoretical approaches and ideas to teaching an ESL classroom. At times, Graves is too wordy and redudant but the point is eventually revealed.
