Where Do We Go From Here? A Reconsideration of Some Basic Assumptions Affecting Course Design
Alexander, L. G.
English Language Teaching Journal, 30, 2, 89-102, Jan 76
Basic assumptions implicit in course design for foreign languages are examined. The course must first satisfy the basic needs of the learner, later his sociolinguistic or psycholinguistic needs. Relevance of materials is looked at in terms of framework of a course, role of situational teaching, and conduct of the lesson. (SCC)
