BATOD has a long history of advocating for fair access arrangements, particularly the principles underpinning language of examinations. Early work on language modification emerged from concerns about the accessibility of examinations for deaf learners in higher education, with discussions beginning in the 1970s and the first edition of Language of Examinations subsequently published in 1989.
The fourth edition of Language of Examinations is a collaborative publication. The publication is designed as a practical resource supporting professionals to make language more accessible across classroom learning, teaching, assessment and examinations for learners who may experience linguistic barriers.
Join us to celebrate the launch of the fourth edition of Language of Examinations. This webinar brings together the organisations and professionals involved in and supporting the fourth edition, recognising our shared role in improving access for deaf learners and others who may experience language-related barriers. The webinar, hosted by RCSLT, is for Qualified Teachers of Deaf Children and Young People, speech and language therapists, teachers, teaching assistants, SENCOs/ALNCos, specialist teachers and assessors, examination and assessment professionals, and others who have an impact on learners with language-related needs.
