		<description><![CDATA[Easier said than done. A test writer has very few friends and often finds that it is impossible to do the job to everyone&#8217;s satisfaction.
But it is clear that it is imperative for test writers to be very clear in their own minds what it is that they want to test and what the purpose [...]]]></description>

1. The effect of a   test on teaching or learning is known as washback [or backwash in testing in   the USA]. [Alderson and   Wall, 1993: 17]
The backwash hypothesis seems to assume that teachers and learners do things they would not necessarily otherwise do because of the [...]]]></description>

 a teacher must insist and expect responsible behaviour from the students
 maintain adequate classroom discipline
 both students and teachers have rights

The Assertive Discipline Model:

 a clear indication of the rules
 reminders of the rules
 indication of consequences
 establishment of a positive discipline system
 use of positive consequences as opposed to negative

		<description><![CDATA[ This approach, put forward by Glasser, is a mixture of interactionist, humanist and behaviourist approaches.

Glasser believes in power sharing classroom meetings to deal with any issues including rules, behaviour, discipline and so on.
Students are allowed to discuss any topic without fear of condemnation. The outcome of the meeting should be an agreement of the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The original and fundamental assumption behind this approach was that parents and teacher&#8217;s control children&#8217;s behaviour and this can have a very negative effect on child development.  There is a long tradition in psychology that supports this type of classroom approach. A student centred approach intends to encourage independence and to allow children to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In order for learners to achieve the target 2000 words as quickly as possible, they will need a rich and nourishing vocabulary. Some words will be taught by the teacher and other words will be learnt incidentally in extensive reading and listening activities. Many learners prefer a list of target words to learn.
