Abstract

Assessment in Bilingual Education contexts where a Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) approach is used is often seen as a problem by teachers and parents. This article aims to clarify and demystify some of the issues concerning assessment in CLIL, showing how assessment can be used not only to measure, but to support, the learning of both content and language.
