Assessment+in+CBI

"Except for work in the tradition of functional linguistics, we know of little research that shows how to approach integrative assessment drawing upon a conscious and theory-based articulation of the relationships between wording and meaning." (Huang & Morgan, 2003, p. 235)

Teachers struggle to make their assessment consistent with their understanding of the functional relationships between meaning and wording -- i.e. in grading, they attend only to content issues and ignore issues of form (Huang & Morgan, 2003, p. 236)
