Effective Curriculum for Teaching L2 Writing : Principles and Techniques, Paperback / softback Book

Effective Curriculum for Teaching L2 Writing : Principles and Techniques Paperback / softback

Part of the ESL & Applied Linguistics Professional Series series

Paperback / softback

Description

Effective Curriculum for Teaching L2 Writing sets out a clear big picture for curricular thinking about L2 writing pedagogy and offers a step-by-step guide to curriculum design with practical examples and illustrations.

Its main purpose is to help pre-service and practicing teachers design courses for teaching academic writing and to do this as efficiently and effectively as possible.

Bringing together the what and the how-to with research-based principles, what sets this book apart is its overarching focus on language pedagogy and language building. Part 1 examines curricular foundations in general and focuses on what is socially valued in L2 writing and pedagogy at school and at the college and university level.

Part 2 is concerned with the nitty-gritty -the daily realities of curricular design and classroom instruction.

Part 3 takes a close look at the key pedagogical ingredients of teaching academic L2 writing: vocabulary and collocations, grammar for academic writing, and down-to-earth techniques for helping L2 writers to organize discourse and ideas.

The Appendix provides an extensive checklist for developing curricula for a course or several courses in language teaching.
