The book "Issues in English Learning" is focusing primarily on English language learning. A confirmation was utilized to identify three tasks on non-Western English language use (in home, work, and community domains) that are culturally appropriate for assessment in some non-western regions. Informants’ comments from the interviews address reasons for considering thee tasks as culturally inappropriate in other non-western regions and thus give insight as to how they may be reworded to be appropriate in those regions. "Culturally inappropriate" in this research refers to offensiveness as well as being outside of established sociopragmatic use. The book illustrates how the interplay between technology and applied linguistics can amplify and expand applied linguists’ understanding of fundamental issues in the field.
