In 1917, the need for psychological testing arose when the United States entered into World War I. Psychologist Robert Yerkes and his committee of psychologists designed the Army Alpha and Beta tests that lay the groundwork for future standardized tests (Sass, 2005). The committee of psychologists led by Yerkes, included Thorndike, Thurstone, and Otis. The committee also included Lewis Terman, the developer of the Stanford-Binet IQ test. Their goal was to create a method could help the war efforts in areas of selection, categorization and assignment decisions for troops.

Certain elements, such as acronyms, initialisms, incomplete sentence structure, or the omission of vowels, included in abbreviated messaging technologies (sometimes referred to as “textese”), have contributed to the English language, reflected in the literature and writing skills of the people who use these media. As a response to the skepticism as to whether text messaging is more detrimental or beneficial to the English language, one reviewer comments “f u cn rd ths thn wats th prblm?” (Crystal

This essay will discuss "Standard English is the yard stick of measuring forms that deviate in phonology and grammar, from the Standard English of England". Firstly, it will identify what is meant by Standard English. Secondly, it will discuss grammar and phonological variation and their causes. Finally, it will identify three examples of phonological variation that Arabic speakers use in producing English sounds, three examples of syntax variation that Arabic learners use in producing English sentences, and three examples of morpheme variation in prefixing or suffixing words in English. At the same time, it will explain the causes of such variation, that is the errors in the performance of Arabic learners.
While written English has always had a role in creating durable records that were never intended to be read aloud, the 'oral' side of writing has been far more important than we tend to realize. Through most of the English language's history, an essential function of writing has been to aid in subsequent representation of spoken words. According to George Orwell written English refers to the preferred form of English as it is written according to prescriptive authorities associated with publishing houses and schools. Orwell defines Spoken English often less formal, spoken in the dialect of the person speaking, whereas written English depends of the context it can be informal but usually it’s tends to be more standardised. The general consensus is that they are differences between Spoken and written English since they represent different ways of communicating and offer different ways of knowing and of reflecting on experience.

For the average speaker,bilingualism can be loosely defined as the use of two languages or the native like control of two languages. In reality,most bilinguals probably fall somewhere in the middle of this continuum. 2-Crucial Departure Points when Thinking about Bilingualism: The degree of bilingualism: Degree of bilingualism refers to the levels of linguistic proficiency which a bilingual must achieve in both languages to be considered as a bilingual.
George & Jones, 2000; Rousseau & Fried, 2001). We argue that incorporating time as an integral part of motivation theories would improve their validity, generalizability, and utility (cf. George & Jones, 2000; McGrath & Rotchford, 1983; McGrath & Tschan, 2004). Here we demonstrate the importance of time to motivation theories by discussing the potential relevance and contribution of time and context associated with time to goal-setting theory. We hope that this analysis of the role of time in goal-setting theory will serve as a basis for future analysis of the role of time in other workrelated motivational theories.

In those volumes, Lowell returns to recollect his private past; his act of remembering becomes the poetic process by which Lowell is able to create the retrospective truth of his life. The most important feature of memory in his life-writing is in its role as an imaginative reconstruction.
