Oral exams will be deeply unfair to weaker students — nerves, processing speed, or language confidence can overshadow what they actually know. Assessment should reveal learning, not punish anxiety. #edchatie #SCEnglish

If the new #SeniorCycleEnglish course is to include an #OralExam in the specification, surely it should be on the comprehension section…read and listen, like the Sraith Pictiúr. Not on the comparative. Students will never write critically about a novel #edchatie

Great idea doing this… AAC are welcome I think. An oral exam is not in opinion. It’s a knee-jerk reaction to Norma’s proposal of moving paper 1 #edchatie
