[Year 12 IT Apps] ESL students and the exam

[Mann, Warrick D]

Hi All,

 

I have been asking this question to, from what I have been able to find
out is that there are no provisions for ESL. All normal rules apply.

 

Cheers

Warrick

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.

Hi all

For the first time, I have an ESL student who is asking what type of
assistance he can have translating the exam paper. His English is
reasonable, but not comprehensive technically. What do others prvide
within the guidelines?


Thanks

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