Includes bibliography

Language learning, teaching, and testing are activities not confined only to the language classrooms. They extend across the curriculum and even into the wider academic and professional world. Language Learning, Teaching and Testing: A Companion treats a range of issues related to the three domains under various headwords. In doing so, it elucidates aspects of theory and practice related to language acquisition, instruction and evaluation and shows how linguistics, psychology, socio-linguistics, and critical awareness have impacted them. Pedagogical comments, where needed, add to the usefulness of the entries. The contribution of scholars on the practice of teaching in the uniquely bilingual Indian/Asian situation is also represented in the book. A reference tool with a difference, this book will be a valuable companion for all language professionals including English language teachers (whether in the face-to-face or the distance mode), teacher educators, teachers in training, researchers and students.
