The authors will detail how they have become more prepared to face the challenges of course development by outlining their own experience designing a curriculum for an English for Art Purposes course for a leading art school. Being inexperienced teachers themselves and outsiders to curriculum design, the authors outline and share what they learned about creating materials, tasks, and assessment instruments that not only addressed the specific needs and interests ofthe students, which differ from those of other academic disciplines, but also fulfilled the educational objectives ofthe art institution itself. Involving preservice teachers in curriculum design will help them to internalize second language teaching theory and have a deeper connection to their own curricula. The authors believe that it is through this curriculum-development process that teachers can experience professional growth and empowerment.  \nIntroduction  \nurriculum development is a term that is used frequently in the field of  \nCedteauccahitinong sh, but whould beohcuras breiceunluum dnderevdeelopbateersInatreheanpadstw, ehdatuctheirators rtoenlediend  \nto view curriculum development as the responsibility of researchers, theoreticians, or administrators, and there was a notion that materials were the product of “experts” and “innovators” that were handed down to the teacher, who was viewed as the “neutral transmitter” of the curriculum message (Enns-Connolly, 1990; Gough, 1977) . In the case of second language teaching, theorists have acknowledged the need to involve teachers in curriculum development in order to create genuinely communicative courses (Enns-Connolly, 1990; Graves, 1996; Shawer, 2010), leading to many teachers’ being increasingly called upon to design the courses they teach. Teachers have been encouraged to participate in curriculum development because of the practical experience they bring with them and their personal involvement in the course; however, many teachers still lack the theoretical framework to interpret their experience and “take  \nThe CATESOL Journal 24.1 • 2012/2013 • 187  \ncontrol” of their teaching through certain curriculum-development strategies (Enns-Connolly, p. 501) . However, teachers must understand that they play an important role in course design because they are the ones who deliver instructions in accordance with a curriculum, and they are the ones who bridge the gap between what has been described in a curriculum and what is actually being done in the classroom. By understanding the framework of curriculum development, teachers can “make sense” of what they are doing and not just do it (Graves, p. 6)  \nAs graduate students of a MA TESOL program, we did not consider ourselves capable of being curriculum developers because of our lack of knowledge, but we were aware of the fact that course design was not a rare practice, even for new teachers. To our surprise, many in-service ESL teachers also vocalize similar opinions of not feeling fully equipped when it comes to approaching and tackling curricula. Our desire to gain expertise and to prepare ourselves for the future prompted us to enroll in a seminar course in curriculum and assessment at our university. We entered the class with foundational and theoretical knowledge of how to teach the four skills and had some exposure to second language learners through our work as tutors and teaching assistants in both academic and nonacademic ESL classrooms. However, we left the class with quite a different set of beliefs, attitudes, and strategies as Engli","cbCainx0X5rAXo17","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainx0X5rAXo17","pdf",526340,11,"English","# Introduction\n## Curriculum development and teacher roles\n## Teacher growth through curriculum design\n# Context\n## Project directive and evaluation\n## Surveys and feedback for improvement","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of curriculum development for teachers in this article?\",\"answer\":\"The article argues that understanding curriculum development helps teachers make sense of what they do in teaching, connect theory to classroom practice, and play an important role in bridging curriculum design with instruction delivery.\"},{\"question\":\"How did the authors’ experience shape their beliefs and strategies?\",\"answer\":\"Through a curriculum and assessment course, they shifted from feeling unprepared to developing strategies and a conceptual framework for interpreting the curriculum-development process and applying it to a real language-learning case.\"},{\"question\":\"What was the curriculum-development project directive?\",\"answer\":\"The project required the authors to survey the course already in place, evaluate the curriculum, and identify areas for improvement, using student and teacher input to obtain a broader view of the program.\"}]","Curriculum Development 101: Lessons Learned From a Curriculum-Design Project | PDF",1792085937,28]
