Cambridge University Press Lessons from Good Language Teachers
Book SynopsisWhat makes a good language teacher? This up-to-date, practical book addresses that question from a ''human'' perspective, recognising that teachers are not just machines, but have feelings, needs and identities of their own. As the twenty-two topics of the chapters in this volume clearly indicate, language teachers are complex individuals, who are expected to have a range of personal qualities, to be able to satisfy the needs of their students and to have the knowledge and skills to provide instruction in a range of language areas. Not only that, but all of these requirements are constantly changing. The authors present new insights from the real teaching environment that will be an invaluable help to language teachers at all stages of professional development.Trade Review'I highly recommend this volume because it is written from the perspective of real language teachers sharing their experiences. The scope of coverage is very impressive, with contributions from a range of teaching contexts across the globe, and from teachers who identify as being native and non-native speakers of English. All chapters are research and evidence-based, and explicit in the methodologies employed, making the volume attractive to both student and practising teachers wanting to engage in their own research projects.'

Cambridge University Press Validity Argument in Language Testing
Book SynopsisLanguage tests play pivotal roles in education, research on learning, and gate-keeping decisions. The central concern for language testing professionals is how to investigate whether or not tests are appropriate for their intended purposes. This book introduces an argument-based validity framework to help with the design of research that investigates the validity of language test interpretation and use. The book presents the principal concepts and technical terms, then shows how they can be implemented successfully in practice through a variety of validation studies. It also demonstrates how argument-based validity intersects with technology in language testing research and highlights the use of validity argument for identifying research questions and interpreting the results of validation research. Use of the framework helps researchers in language testing to communicate clearly and consistently about technical issues with each other and with researchers of other types of tests.Trade Review'Most research building on the framework of validity arguments has been driven by large-scale standardized testing practices. Carol and Erik invite us to listen in the case narratives of validity arguments from classrooms, local institutions, and technology-rich assessment platforms.' Eunice Jang, Professor, Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto'This book is both tightly focused on the principles of argument-based language test validation and yet wide-ranging in its attention to different contexts in which validation is undertaken, including the use of technology in test development, delivery, and scoring. After a cogent introduction to the theory of validity argument, each chapter focuses on one or two aspects of the procedure so that by the end, readers have a clear understanding of this complex but highly effective approach to language test validation. Danny Douglas, Professor Emeritus, Applied Linguistics, Iowa State University'Most research building on the framework of validity arguments has been driven by large-scale standardized testing practices. Carol and Erik invite us to listen in the case narratives of validity arguments from classrooms, local institutions, and technology-rich assessment platforms.' Eunice Jang, Professor, Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto'Validity Argument in Language Testing is a much-needed resource for researchers, graduate students, and practitioners learning the intricacies of the argument-based approach to validation in language testing. The highly experienced editors have drawn together a successful combination of theoretical grounding and example studies focusing on various aspects of the approach. The book will be a valuable resource for many generations of language assessors.' Ute Knoch, Director of the Language Testing Research Centre and Associate Professor in Language Assessment, University of Melbourne'This volume provides important insights into the utility of an argument-based approach to validity. Case studies representing a range of tests, contexts and validation methods provide fertile ground to explore the benefits, and limits, of an argument-based approach. This collection will appeal to anyone keen to learn about the application of validity theory in concrete language testing situations.'

Taylor & Francis Ltd Latins Greeks and Muslims Encounters in the Eastern Mediterranean 10th15th Centuries
Book SynopsisTrade, shipping, military conquest, migration and settlement in the eastern Mediterranean of the 10th-15th centuries generated multiple encounters between states, social and ''national'' groups, and individuals belonging to Latin Christianity, Byzantium and the Islamic world. The nature of these encounters varied widely, depending on whether they were the result of cooperation, rivalry or clashes between states, the outcome of Latin conquest, which altered the social and legal status of indigenous subjects, or the result of economic activity. They had wide-ranging social and economic repercussions, and shaped both individual and collective perceptions and attitudes. These often differed, depending upon ''nationality'', standing within the dominant or subject social strata, or purely economic considerations. In any event, at the individual level common economic interests transcended collective ''national'' and cultural boundaries, except in times of crisis. The studies in this latest cTrade Review'The scholarship is outstanding, and whilst the specific nature of the collection will not be of interest to all, the work provides a valuable survey of trade and cultural encounters in the Mediterranean during this period.'

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Teaching and Learning the English Language
Book SynopsisOffering a solid, research-based approach along with sound practical advice, this book equips you with the skills you need to analyse your own contexts and develop your practice, whether through formal study or alone. Badger explores teaching English as a problem-solving activity addressing three fundamental questions: what aspect of language do students needs to learn, how do they learn it, and how can teachers support this learning. This new edition includes updated references, a chapter on pragmatics, coverage of concepts such as translanguaging, CLIL, EMI, English as a lingua franca and sections on digital learning. Topics covered include: Psychological and social learning processes TESOL teaching methods and approaches Lesson planning and classroom management English teacher professional development The book also includes chapter summaries, activities for students and key readings recommendations, and online resources such as vTrade ReviewIn 16 concise chapters of very readable prose, [the book] presents an even-handed account of the field ... University lecturers and students alike should find this book accessible and useful ... There was much to enjoy, including the odd surprise; for example, a chapter on spelling — an innovative flourish and fascinating to read. * IATEFL Voices (of the first edition) *An excellent introduction to and overview of TESOL teaching along with providing a revision of TESOL theories, methodologies and strategies ... It is extensively researched with around 500 references to enable readers to extend their knowledge and skills in TESOL ... Reader-friendly. * Journal of Applied Learning & Teaching (of the first edition) *The book gives a comprehensive overview of many key areas and concepts in TESOL – learning, teaching, and assessing. Students who join a graduate TESOL programme without prior knowledge or training in language studies, linguistics, or the study of English language will find the book especially useful. -- Soe Marlar Lwin, Associate Professor in the Applied Linguistics (TESOL) Programme, Singapore University of Social Sciences, SingaporeA very valuable and accessible resource for every student-teacher and every teacher-practitioner who is wanting to take their knowledge about language, language learning and teaching to a theoretically more advanced and practically more informed level. I recommend it to my own Master’s students. * Oksana Afitska, Lecturer in TESOL, Lancaster University, UK (of the first edition) *With experience teaching English in diverse places like Malaysia, Algeria and the UK, Badger is able to explain the theories he discusses using examples from the real world of English teaching. What I like most about this book, as an English Language teacher and one who trains other teachers, is the concise chapters and the way Badger breaks down the component parts of the language. Easy to read, up to date, and easy to teach from. * Jaala Shaw, Lecturer, University of Colorado Boulder, International English Center, USA (of the first edition) *A comprehensive introduction to the field of TESOL with an attempt to integrate the three domains of language, learning and teaching within a unifying framework for teacher professional development. The jargon-free writing makes the book particularly accessible to practitioners from different cultural backgrounds across the world. * Yongcan Liu, Senior Lecturer in Second Language Education, University of Cambridge, UK (of the first edition) *The text is like a kind of toolkit with live examples for students to work on. The companion website is invaluable too. * Ayo Amuda, Senior Lecturer, University of South Wales, UK (of the first edition) *I have used this book as a core module text on MA TESOL programmes and have found it to be informative and clearly written. Students with both minimal and extensive prior knowledge or training in language studies and teaching have found it a very useful resource to support their learning. The way each chapter is organised from looking at how someone learners a particular skill or language area to the implications for teaching is excellent. This has helped my students reflect on teaching and learning of language and skills in their own TESOL contexts. -- Laura Grassick, Programme Lead for the MA in TESOL Studies, University of Leeds, UKTable of ContentsList of Figures List of Tables 1.

John Wiley and Sons Ltd The Interactional Architecture of the Language
Book SynopsisWinner of the MLA Kenneth W. Mildenberger Prize 2005 This monograph provides a model of the organisation of L2 classroom interaction and a practical methodology for its analysis. The main thesis is that there is a reflexive relationship between pedagogy and interaction in the L2 classroom; this relationship is the foundation of its context-free architecture. Explains the basic principles of Conversation Analysis and reviews the literature on L2 classroom interaction. Portrays the reflexive relationship between the pedagogical focus of the interaction and the organisation of turn-taking, sequence and repair. Describes the overall organisation of L2 classroom interaction and illustrates the use of the analytical methodology. Considers how Conversation Analysis can contribute to the research agendas of Applied Linguistics and Second Language Acquisition. Trade Review"The book has important implications for understanding what is possible in language classrooms as a part of educational institutions, and is particularly illuminating in challenging some of the tenets of communicative methodology. Given that CA attempts to describe the uniqueness of specific interactions, but uses what it claims is a ‘context-free’ machinery, and the fact that the database is wide-ranging, the book is likely to have relevance for second and foreign language teaching across a wide range of contexts."—Thomas Morton, University of LeedsTable of ContentsSeries Editor’s Foreword.
