Complexity, accuracy, and fluency (CAF) as measures of language proficiency have been used extensively in assessing second language production in English language studies related to task-based language teaching. The present review adds the following critical elements to the existing body of literature: (i) Provides synthesis and critical analysis of various measures of CAF used in empirical studies and reveals the variation with which the three constructs have been used; (ii) Lays down the most appropriate CAF measures for beginners, intermediates and advanced learners for a valid and robust assessment of oral production in English as a second and foreign language.
Well-being implies an overall healthy body and mind and encompasses physical, social, and emotional factors.

Teachers as nation builders, have abundant responsibility on their shoulders and they play an important role in building a sustainable society. However, the work conditions and various environmental factors at times impact their well-being. The present study is a review of studies conducted on the well-being of teachers. For this purpose, eight research papers spanning from 2019 to 2022 have been reviewed. The present study intends to find out the various factors that have an impact on the well-being of school teachers in different countries and also analyze the course of action that is being adopted or suggested to promote teachers’ well-being. The study is crucial as it will help the stakeholders understand the components that need to be focussed on while dealing with the teachers’ well-being.
