4.0 out of 5 stars
a very complete resource,
By book lover "mwb" (Scarborough, Maine) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Classroom-Based Evaluation in Second Language Education (Cambridge Language Education) (Paperback)
I got this book for a class. It is a very thorough resource, and I will refer back to it when I need to remember something or figure out something about types of assessment practices. It is dry reading, though.
