Blended language courses, which combine face-to-face and online instruction, are becoming increasingly popular due to the need for more flexible yet effective learning opportunities. This book recognizes the associated opportunities and challenges for teachers, and provides the rationale, strategies and tools to design blended learning courses or to guide the transition from fully face-to-face or fully online courses to blended instruction. The authors propose a framework based on four phases, Design, Build, Teach and Evaluate, which facilitates a systematic approach to course development. The volume simplifies the connection between theory and practice, by including examples that readers can relate to and immediately implement as they build or teach a course. Including case studies of successful implementations, and effective instructional strategies and techniques, this book is accessible even for teachers without previous experience in course design, whilst also acting as a reference for more experienced language educators.

Persian in International Relations and Foreign Policy develops the reader’s command of the Persian language via thematic units that explore global issues involving contemporary Iran. 
The textbook features six units covering a broad range of themes with 12 corresponding topic-based lessons that are logically intertwined and introduced through authentic Persian resources. Starting from the Shah’s ousting in the pivotal year of 1979, each unit presents unique perspectives on important moments in history and their impact on social, demographic, economic, and environmental issues in Iran today. Every unit contains a wide array of skills-focused and practice activities, which are carefully scaffolded to support learners as they develop and consolidate their reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills with vocabulary and language structures specific to the lesson. Accompanying multimedia content, further resources along with grammar and vocabulary sheets are available for download at www.routledge.com/9781138347199 . 
The textbook facilitates attainment of the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) Advanced High level and the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) C1 level, respectively, and it is designed for students who have achieved the ACTFL’s Intermediate High or CEFR’s B1 proficiency standards.
