Evaluating your Students examines the area of testing and evaluating in a problem-solving way. It presents the problems of why, when and how to evaluate; it analyses the criteria that make a test 'good' and helps you to apply these to your own testing.

As well as the traditional focus on the final written task, it also looks at other options, such as evaluating oral skills and continuous assessment.
Stability and Divergence in Language Contact: Factors and Mechanisms (Studies in Language Variation, Book 16)
Convergence, i.e. the increase of inter-systemic similarities, is usually considered the default development in language contact situations. This volume focuses on the other logical possibilities of diachronic development, namely stability and divergence – two well-attested, but under-researched phenomena. The contributions investigate the sociolinguistic and structural factors and mechanisms that lead to or at least reinforce both types of non-convergence, despite of language contact. The contributions cover a wide range of language contact situations, including standard and non-standard varieties.
Mark Twain's classic novel, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, tells the story of a teenaged misfit who finds himself floating on a raft down the Mississippi River with an escaping slave, Jim. In the course of their perilous journey, Huck and Jim meet adventure, danger, and a cast of characters who are sometimes menacing and often hilarious.
Though some of the situations in Huckleberry Finn are funny in themselves , this book's humor is found mostly in Huck's unique worldview and his way of expressing himself.
