Intensive Exposure Experiences in Second Language Learning
15
 
 
Intensive Exposure Experiences in Second Language LearningThis volume brings together studies dealing with second language learning in contexts that provide intensive exposure to the target language. In doing so, it highlights the role of intensive exposure as a critical distinctive characteristic in the comparison of learning processes and outcomes from different learning contexts: naturalistic and foreign language instruction, stay abroad and at home, and extensive and intensive instruction programmes. The different chapters represent a wide range of learning contexts and types of learning, as well as different approaches that yield much needed evidence on the role of context of acquisition in second language learning.

Task-Based Language Teaching in Foreign Language Contexts: Research and implementation
24
 
 
Task-Based Language Teaching in Foreign Language Contexts: Research and implementationThis volume extends the Task-Based Language Teaching: Issues, Research and Practice books series by deliberately exploring the potential of task-based language teaching (TBLT) in a range of EFL contexts. It is specifically devoted to providing empirical accounts about how TBLT practice is being developed and researched in diverse educational contexts, particularly where English is not the dominant language. This collection of 13 studies provides strong indications that the research and implementation of TBLT in EFL settings is both on the rise and interestingly diverse, not least because it must respond to the distinct contexts, constraints, and possibilities of foreign language learning.

Case Studies in Language Curriculum Design: Concepts and Approaches in Action Around the World
13
 
 
Case Studies in Language Curriculum Design: Concepts and Approaches in Action Around the WorldCase studies are a powerful pedagogical tool for illuminating constructs and models in real-life contexts. Covering a wide range of teachingùlearning contexts and offering in-depth analyses of ESL/EFL language curriculum design issues, this casebook is distinctive and unique in that each case draws on and is clearly linked to a single model presented in Nation and Macalister's Language Curriculum Design (www.routledge. com/9780415806060), giving the book a high degree of coherence. A short commentary by the editors after each case highlights features of note and/or issues arising from it.
