" In Designing Language Courses: A Guide for Teachers, Graves argues that course design and language teaching go hand-in-hand, especially when the teacher approaches planning and implementation based on personal experience, reflection, and analysis of classroom instruction. By combining theory with personal insights, Graves helps practicing teachers make reasoned choices about designing a successful course and curriculum." (Author's note)
