"Teachers as Course Developers is a book about how language teachers themselves-rather than curriculum specialists-develop and implement their own courses. It uses a unique case study approach featuring the stories of six teachers who successfully designed their own courses in different settings in Japan, the U.S., and Latin America. The book provides a framework for the processes of course development which any teacher can use in developing his or her own courses. Each chapter highlights a different aspect of the framework based on the particular teacher's approach and examines how the teacher has utilized or departed from the framework in meeting the challenges of a particular situation. Each narrative is followed by a set of tasks and discussion questions. An annotated bibliography is also included."--Publisher description.
