Language in assessment: Universalist vs. demotic approaches

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

Abstract
The paper argues that recent research has alerted us to the changing nature of the use of language in communication in contemporary societies. In relation to the assessment of academic writing, particularly with reference to English, it is suggested that there is a need to broaden the concept of construct. I will draw on studies in English as a Lingua Franca and informal logic of argument to support my argument.
