Language Curriculum Design and Socialisation

This book fi lls a gap in language education through the application of social theory to curriculum design. It describes an integrated theoretical framework for curriculum design and presents examples of text-based curriculum. As such, it will provide teachers, teacher educators and curriculum planners with a curriculum model for teaching children and adults in different contexts from preschool to adult education as well as serving as a practical guide for students training to become teachers.

His research interests include language learning, bilingual education, text-based teaching applied in different languages and contexts, revival linguistics, and the development of academic literacies.
