Language  across the curriculum is one of the most important components of Education process .It is very  complex, ongoing and never ending process and it needs great attention .Framing of curriculum with language at various levels of education is a co-operative effort of curriculum experts,educationists, teachers, parents, students  and voluntary  agencies .I strongly believe that educators and teachers need to possess a strong framework from which the curriculum for pupils may  be envisioned and brought forth .With the advent of ICT revolution, globalization and economic reforms it is imperative  to resort curriculum reform with language.

It is highly  imperative that the educational curriculum way language be paid the highest attention ,as it shapes  the way education is received by students. Frequently teachers have little knowledge about their role Being a teacher educator ,I realized the importance of curriculum development and made and attempt to explain the various aspect of curriculum development through language .

This book talks about the concepts ,meaning,definition and type curriculum with language .This book also  discusses foundations of language thought curriculum and provides the basic tasks  for curriculum development  and curriculum designing using language .Due importance is given for a various curriculum approaches of principles of language  across the curriculum ,academic language ,social language , integrated curriculum, language education ,theories of language learning and language related issuse in this book .
