The process comes to life through plentiful examples of actual applications of the steps. Each chapter includes:examples from the authors’ experience and from published research tasks that encourage readers to relate the steps to their own experiencecase studies and suggestions for further reading that put readers in touch with others’ experienceCurriculum, or course, design is largely a 'how-to-do-it' activity that involves the integration of knowledge from many of the areas in the field of Applied Linguistics, such as language acquisition research, teaching methodology, assessment, language description, and materials production.
