Opis

This work considers why summative assessment in English is difficult and explores viewing it as an arts subject rather than one which is quantifiable and assessable objectively.

Recenzje

'If English teachers read only one educational text this year, this should be it. Bethan Marshall not only gives a fascinating analysis of the almost incomprehensible world of policy development in English but provides a powerful evidence base to inform future policy and practice. This is a book entirely in the 'spirit of AfL', relective, analytical and immensely practical.' Louise Hayward, Professor of Educational Studies, University of Glasgow, UK
