Material Selection, Design, Sequencing, and Testing
Program and course design involves making certain decisions related to the selection, presentation, and sequencing of material. Suitable material selection/design requires the identification of appropriate course objectives, which in turn, relies on a properly conceptualized educational program. A robust testing component brings coherence and accountability to these three aspects. All four are interdependent elements of a solid language curriculum.
These titles discuss pertinent topics that need to be taken into consideration at all levels of language education planning.
