Abstract

Based on the insights that emerged in the chapters to this volume, in this chapter, we revisit the following: (a) relationship between teaching, learning, and assessment in the classroom-based assessment cycle (Davison 2008) and (b) integration in assessment in CLIL (Leung and Morton 2016). Two guiding questions will mediate our discussion: What is assessment promoting learning in CLIL? and How can assessment promoting learning in CLIL help to conceptualise assessment promoting learning in general?
