Extract

The production of any language teaching course involves complex issues which, in the normal commissioning process, would be led by professional linguists and driven by their decisions. In the case of distance teaching materials at the Open University, teams comprising academics from a number of specialisms are involved. The language writers work alongside researchers, specialists in educational technology and other experts in distance education.
