Synopsis:
Open architecture curricular design (OCAD) is a textbook-free curricular design framework for teaching and learning world languages that integrates all of the best practices in world language education to enhance learning efficiency and effectiveness. Editors and pioneers of the method Corin, Leaver, and Campbell define OCAD for world language instructors and second language acquisition (SLA) researchers from middle school through higher education and beyond. The chapters demonstrate how to use OCAD for a wide variety of languages and proficiency levels in government, service academy, and university programs. Topics covered include the use of authentic texts at all levels, learner involvement in the selection of content and activities, and methods of assessment and program evaluation.
