¡´Overview : Briefly describe the theory behind your book. We would like to know the scope, purpose, approach and/or pedagogy you are aiming for, and the parts of the text which best exemplify these ideas.
¡´Target audience : Which level are you aiming at? Which market is your text aimed at? For example, if your book is directed at young learners, what age group is it appropriate for and why? Is your text a standard course book or can it be regarded as supplementary materials? What skills area is the text targeting? Is it an integrated skills book, grammar, listening, writing, reading, etc?
¡´Brief content and structure : Describe the parts included in each unit, including the function, and the intention of the individual sections.
¡´Status of the work : What portion of the manuscript is completed? When do you expect to finish it?
You are also welcome to download the file "Introduction to the work" and complete the form.
II. Table of contents or "scope and sequence" chart
¡´Please be sure that the table of contents is as detailed as possible.The overall syllabus including major topics and subtopics for each chapter, should be described. You can include this in the form of a "scope and sequence" chart, if you'd like.
III. Sample units
¡´Please include two or three sample units with your proposal. The attached sample units should exemplify your approach and the intended design elements of the book. Please submit the units you feel are the most inventive. It is advisable to include units taken from the core of the text, rather than the opening unit as this will give us a better idea of your aims.
