This year marked the beginning of an exciting collaboration with the University of Bath through the BAWESS project, aimed at developing an AI-powered language analytical tool. Designed to transform how student writing is assessed, the tool will provide deeper insights into language patterns across disciplines in secondary schools.
By integrating Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL), Lexis Education’s Language and Learning Development Continuum, and generative AI, this work promises to deliver richer feedback for teachers and more targeted support for students — helping assessment become a driver of learning rather than just measurement.
We’re also proud to contribute strategically to the BAWESS project, with John Polias, Director at Lexis Education, serving on its Advisory Board.
