Review # 1 was written on 2018-10-16 00:00:00 Joseph Niedert I've learnt a lot by reading this book. Especially for a 3rd year student who's about to become an English teacher in secondary school. There is a LOT of information on how to test students and the (positive/negative) backwash effects of teaching and testing. It has cleared a bunch of things for me and made me really think about how I would test my pupils and give them work to practice on. Most of us know that there are a lot of different ways of learning and teaching. If you want to explore several ways of teaching and learn the negative and positive effects of it, with explanation of what happens to pupils when you use a method to teach. Definitely recommended.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-03-07 00:00:00 Gilberto Reyes I read this because it's a recommended book for my degree. The book is excellent for the language teacher with a TESOL background. It teaches how to make a valid test questions, how to select types of tests, how to identify a flawed test, why some tests fail to accurately produce a record of students knowledge and abilities and everything in between. This book will guide you to be a better teacher. My single regret is that I did not find this book earlier. If you're a teacher looking for a book to help you with your test writing skills, this is a one one you should definitely check out.
