BATOD invites your feedback on the language used in examination

Examination language feedback form

BATOD is keen to ensure that the quality of the modification of the language of examinations remains high. In order to monitor the quality, it is important that we get feedback. We have designed a simple form which can be used to inform us of colleagues’ opinions – both positive and negative – of the language of examinations with which they have been involved. We would like to propose that services hold professional dialogue meetings to complete these forms together shortly after the exams have been taken if spare copies are available to consult. If not, a meeting just after that year’s papers are online on the exam board’s website would be very helpful. If the BATOD language modification group receives these suggestions from QToDs, it will be possible to make progress with explaining why language modification is necessary to all the Awarding Bodies.
