Computers and the Internet offer innovative teachers exciting ways to enhance their pedagogy and capture their students attention. These technologies have created a growing field of inquiry, computer-assisted language learning (CALL). As new technologies have emerged, teaching professionals have adapted them to support teachers and learners in the classroom.
In CALL Essentials, seasoned practitioner Joy Egbert offers useful advice for teachers who want to integrate technology with their teaching. She begins not with computers, however, but with the classroom conditions that foster effective language learning. Taking these conditions as a foundation for effective pedagogy, she shows teachers how to use technology to create a whole learning environment; with their students.

Assessing English Learners in U.S.Schools has the promise of reaching a broad teacher audience who desperately need such a text. In particular, its strengths lie in a clear balance in the discussions of language assessment theory and practice, well-thought-out and designed chapter applications that allow teachers to engage with the materials as they read, and lucid real-world discussions surrounding the specific K-12 contexts. I believe that these descriptions will resonate with the audience. --Brent A. Green, PhD
