Synopsis

Since curriculum planning, development, implementation, and evaluation are closely interconnected, developing conceptual knowledge and practical understanding of these areas is essential for a quality curriculum. Effective curriculum practices examine the teaching and learning experience comprehensively to ensure its readiness, coherence, effectiveness, and consistency in meeting students’ needs. Fundamentals of Curriculum Planning, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation in English Language Teaching provides comprehensive knowledge and resources for English language teachers, teachers-in-training, curriculum developers, and language programs. This book offers a systematic guide to navigating the different phases of the curriculum, from its inception to its evaluation. Part I explores the conceptual and theoretical foundations that shape curriculum and instruction. Part II provides practical knowledge and guidelines that programs and individual teachers can adopt or adapt to their specific educational contexts with the goal is to optimize the teaching and learning experience. Elturki draws largely on knowledge from the field of education, particularly curriculum studies, to complement what we know about L2 teaching and learning from Applied Linguistics, Second Language Acquisition, and English Language Teaching. Each chapter begins with pre-reading questions to stimulate thinking and concludes with post-reading questions for reflection, encouraging readers to connect the material to their own context.
