Practitioners can lack clear guiding principles about the balance of content and language, whether language should be assessed at all, and which assessment methods are most appropriate. Moreover, current assessment practices in bilingual education often separate, rather than integrate, content and language learning outcomes, and place too much emphasis on summative rather than formative assessment. This paper presents findings from recent research carried out by the UAM-CLIL Research Group at the Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Madrid, which explores the application of Dalton-Puffer’s (2013) construct of “Cognitive Discourse Functions (CDFs)” as a way to identify and integrate content, language and literacy learning outcomes in bilingual education. The paper outlines the implications of the UAM-CLIL group’s findings on CDFs for what, why and how we assess, and which instruments are most appropriate for assessing emergent bilinguals learning academic content through an additional language.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” el_class=”fondo-teja” css=”.vc_custom_1490630823443{margin-right: 5% !important;margin-left: 5% !important;padding-top: 75px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”1763″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” qode_css_animation=”” css=”.vc_custom_1520876925926{padding-bottom: 50px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1521021463354{padding-bottom: 50px !important;}”] Dr. Thom Morton [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text] Biodata Tom Morton is Honorary Research Fellow at the Department of Applied Linguistics and…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"tema-magister.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1764","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\n
