The Relevance of Sociopolitical Factors to Communicative Course Design.
Markee, Numa
English for Specific Purposes, v5 n1 p3-16 1986
Syllabus designers and materials writers in developing nations must treat English for specific purposes as a language-policy solution to language-policy problems. They must familiarize themselves with sociopolitical factors affecting course design and subsequently the relevance of courses produced. Examples are illustrated through a case study of Khartoum Polytechnic (Sudan). (Author/CB)
