ABSTRACT

The shift towards simultaneous learning of subject matter and language in secondary school and university classrooms demands fresh approaches to curriculum design. A multi-dimensional curriculum design is an attractive option for practitioners. Its blend of content and language objectives with experiential and cooperative activities lays the foundation for both students and teachers to be active participants in generating the purpose and momentum for a course. In such a shared educational environment, students and teachers are partners, learning from and teaching each other in an organic and evolving way.
