Beyond Methods: Components of Language Teacher Education Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book covers a variety of ELL topics. Each chapter presents information which is research based and immediately applicable to the classroom. I have used it constantly since being introduced to it four years ago.
Topics include syntactic theory, pragmatics, reading research theory and assesment. It is edited by the outstanding researcher Bardovi-Harlig.
This is an excellent book for TESOL grad students, ESL/EFL teachers who wish to expand their knowledge and those interested in becoming familiar with the jargon of the profession.

Information Systems Development: Methodologies, Techniques & Tools Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Avison and Fitzgerald produced a thoroughly researched comparison on commonly used software development methodologies. Not only do the authors highlight the methodological mess that bothers researchers and practitioners alike, they also provide a comprehensive evaluation framework for those who are still wondering what methodology to use. This book certainly helps the reader to bring some order into the chaos.

"Information Systems Development" has been adopted as the key text for many information systems, business and management, and computer science courses. The book has seven parts which relate to the Information Systems Development context, the Systems Development Lifecycle, Themes of Systems Development, Techniques, Methodologies, Tools and Toolsets and finally Issues and Frameworks. This structure enables flexible use, either sequentially or by selecting sections or chapters to fit the specific needs of particular courses and favored approaches. Offering comprehensive coverage from traditional approaches through to the most recent agile methods, the book's unique strength lies in its combination of descriptions and insight into methodologies, techniques and tools with the analysis of context, issues and real-world problems associated with information systems development.Retaining these existing strengths, the fourth edition has been thoroughly updated and revised to reflect progress in this fast-paced discipline and to include the authors' recent experience of teaching with the text, as well as feedback from reviewers, colleagues and students.
