[Year 12 IT Apps] ESL students and the exam

[Mark KELLY]

Interesting one. I've not seen this come up before.

All I know for sure is that all written answers must be in English.

I've not heard of exams in foreign translations (especially in IT; imagine
the problems translating the specialist vocabulary in proper VCAA-speak.)
Neither have I heard of human translators being used during exams; the
authentication problems would be monstrous.

I'm sure Paula has all the answers.

For no reason, my friend became a square, flat surface with four legs. I
rushed him to hospital. His condition is table.
