Summary

"This text can serve as a resource guide to those involved in developing and implementing content-based courses - i.e., teachers, teacher trainers, curriculum/materials developers, and program administrators. Valuable guidelines for selecting and designing content-based courses, placing and evaluating students, and developing appropriate materials around the subject matter content are presented. Content-Based Second Language Instruction is also a course text for teacher training, program planning, and curriculum design. Although its focus is on second language learners at the postsecondary levels, the book will also be of interest to teachers at the elementary and secondary levels, as well as those planning courses in a foreign language setting."--Jacket.
