This book creatively redefines how teacher educators and faculty in
secondary and post-secondary language education can become
designers with intercultural education in mind. The author aligns
theoretical frameworks with practical features for revising the
modern language curriculum via themes and novel tasks that transfer
language learning from classroom to community, developing
communicative competence for mediation and learner autonomy along
the way. For novice and experienced instructors alike, this book
empowers them to: - design curriculum from transferable concepts
that are worthy of understanding and have value within the
culture(s) and to the learner; - develop assessments that ask the
learner to solve problems, and create products that transfer
concepts or address needs of various audiences that they will
encounter in community, life, and work; - direct language learners
through a spiral, articulated program that supports academic,
career and personal goals. Pedagogical features include a glossary
of key terms, research-to-practice boxes, scaffolded design tasks,
reflection questions and template samples representing language
exemplars from the following languages and cultures: Arabic,
Chinese, Ede Yoruba, French, German, Hindi, Italian, Japanese,
Korean, Ladino, Nahuatl, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Te Reo Maori
and Urdu. The accompanying online resources offer blank templates,
PowerPoints and guides for designing bespoke curricula with key
performance assessments.
