"The book takes a major innovation in the field of curriculum design (the CDC Model) into bilingual and immersion education. It shows how good curriculum design aligns to teaching methods which use students’ two languages to access academic knowledge."

Dr. Richard Pountney, Principal Lecturer, LTA Lead, Teaching Fellow, SFHEA. Sheffield Institute of Education, College of Social Sciences and Arts

"The Curriculum Design Coherence (CDC) Model provides a highly effective method for teachers to use in designing curricula by enabling them to pay particular attention to the significance of knowledge. This book aligns the CDC Model’s design method to TransAcquisition Pedagogy. It shows how using the two methods together makes a valuable contribution to bilingual and immersion education."

Diane Swift (FCCT), Director, Keele and North Staffordshire Teacher Education
