This book also shows how examination questions may provide insight into the relationship between teaching and language in science.  Do candidates give an incorrect answer because they do not understand the topic or because they do not understand the language by which the question is framed?  This book shows how the analysis of scientific examination questions can answer this question. These chapters show how contemporary linguistics can inform the assessment of science and address topics including: the role of images, lexicography, the morphology of sentences, semantic discontinuity and the active reader.  An example question is used throughout the text to illustrate the theories and each chapter has its own useful summary, making it a very readable work.SpringerBriefs in Education,2211-193XScienceStudy and teachingEducational tests and measurementsApplied linguisticsSociolinguisticsScience EducationAssessment and TestingApplied LinguisticsSociolinguisticsScienceStudy and teaching.Educational tests and measurements.Applied linguistics.Sociolinguistics.Science Education.Assessment and Testing.Applied Linguistics.Sociolinguistics.306.44Day Adrianauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut921480BOOK9910484702103321The Structure of Scientific Examination Questions2852038UNINA
