GREAT!! by Second Language Reader (New Haven, Conn) 5 Stars
October 30, 2009
I have been teaching a course on Ell Assessment. This book was the one I used as a basic text. My students have found it both challenging and informative. I have enjoyed and relished the book and I recommend it very highly. I also like the care given to every chapter. Every one starts with an analogy to a bridge.

Did not match my expectations by eternal learner 1 Stars

Is not the kind of book that a student in initial education certification program can use productively until other more basis courses are taken.

a wonderful resource by book lover (Scarborough, Maine) 5 Stars
February 06, 2007
This book is such a good resource for ESL teachers! It is expensive, but I bought it anyway because I knew I would want to keep it on my bookshelf (I could have read it online for a class I was taking). I am an experienced teacher, but there is always room for improvement, and this book is a wonderful source of ideas.
