This book is about building and using language tests and assessments. It does what it says on the tin: it is a practical approach. However, it does not provide ready-made solutions. Language testing is a complex social phenomenon, and its practice changes lives. The book therefore assumes that you will wish to think carefully about testing and its impact in your own context.

Effective Learning and Teaching of Writing is a handbook on research on the effective teaching and learning of writing. It is a reference for researchers and educators in the domain of written composition in education. Effective Learning and Teaching of Writing covers all age ranges and school settings and it deals with various aspects of writing and text types. Research methodology varies from experimental studies to reflective classroom practitioners’ research.

The book is intended for two groups: students in introductory language testing courses (and naturally their instructors), and language teachers who need to create tests for themselves or their school or program, or who have test results that need analyzing. I have tried to make it something that will be useful for both groups, a textbook for students like the ones I teach in my own testing course, and a handbook or guide for teachers who may have no training in language assessment but who nonetheless have to make tests or make sense of testing data.

A book for educators on teaching ELLs through technology is desperately needed. Although there are many excellent generic ELL books, they are often more appropriate for ESOL teachers than for content-area teachers who have ELLs in their classrooms and want to use technology. This book (part of the Teaching English Language Learners Across the Curriculum series) provides content-area teachers with practical, teacher-friendly strategies and techniques for using various technologies and software programs readily available to the public which can enhance the learning potential not only of ELLs, but of all students.

Research results over the past decades have consistently demonstrated that a key reason why many second language learners fail--while some learners do better with less effort--lies in various learner attributes such as personality traits, motivation, or language aptitude. In psychology, these attributes have traditionally been called "individual differences." The scope of individual learner differences is broad--ranging from creativity to learner styles and anxiety--yet there is no current, comprehensive, and unified volume that provides an overview of the considerable amount of research conducted on various language learner differences, until now.
