Educational Consultants

All of the textbook design projects encountered so far had input from a specific class of educators that consult on materials creation projects outside of their own culture. These people are not native speakers of the non-dominant language that is used in the textbooks, but may speak it as an additional language. They typically have a high level of education in fields such as curriculum development, literacy, or linguistics. They may come from the country where the materials are being created, or from elsewhere. The participants in this study are educational consultants who worked on teaching materials in non-dominant languages.
