Language Assessment: Principles and Classroom Practices (2nd Edition)

This is an excellent book for teachers. While working on my master’s degree, it was very helpful. It is written by two educators who have lots of expertise in this subject. It is organized very logically and each chapter introduces the theoretical concepts that you will learn with useful exercises at the end of each chapter. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to understand the purposes of assessment, and who want to understand the difference between testing, assessment, and evaluation.

It a must have for teachers. The chapters are very organized and the exercises are clear and very informative.

Considering that the very title is enough to make most folks start yawning, this textbook, written primarily for those intending to teach English as a second language, is proving to be a remarkably reader-friendly, enjoyable, and very informative book! I've been teaching for years and have learned things that would have benefitted me years ago. Any teacher, teaching whatever subject, can certainly learn a world of information regarding assessment procedures (and, indeed, should know these concepts!) The real bonus is how quickly it reads; no getting bogged down in esoteric terms.

I enjoyed this read. It is very straightforward and easy to understand.

This is a textbook on assessment principles and practices for language teachers. The book is clearly written, well-organized, and useful. I ordered a used edition, and the middle rating I have given it is due to the quality of the book: not damaged, but fairly heavily marked up and highlighted. Based on the description when I ordered it, I was expecting a cleaner copy.

The book itself is great. I have been preparing tests for some time. However, since I start to read and learn from this book, I have come to understand why I have been doing many things without knowing it, and seen what I have been doing wrong, too. Also, it was sent to me in good packaging and very fast.

My course requires this book. It's fast delivered. I like it. The book is new, and it's really helpful with my academic period.

I had no problem with this book, until I received an email recently saying they charged me $35 for water damage to the book when they received it. When I sent it off, there was no water damage... I have been ripped off.

In a great condition

I like it, it come on time

great tool in learning

A useful textbook

I have not read this book not because it not good but I changed the course I definitely think it is a god book.
