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. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Education,$x2211-193X 606 $aScience$xStudy and teaching 606 $aEducational tests and measurements 606 $aApplied linguistics 606 $aSociolinguistics 606 $aScience Education 606 $aAssessment and Testing 606 $aApplied Linguistics 606 $aSociolinguistics 615 0$aScience$xStudy and teaching. 615 0$aEducational tests and measurements. 615 0$aApplied linguistics. 615 0$aSociolinguistics. 615 14$aScience Education. 615 24$aAssessment and Testing. 615 24$aApplied Linguistics. 615 24$aSociolinguistics. 676 $a306.44 700 $aDay$b Adrian$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0921480 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484702103321 996 $aThe Structure of Scientific Examination Questions$92852038 997 $aUNINA
