      Is my centre making students cheat on the receptive exam?

      By SSW · Posted

      Hi I have been learning BSL for 3 years. I recently completed exams in December and January with my Signature approved centre. Before the receptive exam, we sit in the room (which is not appropriately laid out for a fair exam for everyone anyway) and before we start the exam, the teacher spends about 10 minutes going through a list of signs and their corresponding English words that will appear throughout the receptive exam to help us. Is this cheating?? Does anyone else experience this? It kind of defeats the purpose of a receptive skills exam. And It's not part of the exam conduct anywhere in the exam specification.

      My name is Sharron and i am 55 years old. I have 2 absolutely gorgeous grandsons, the second of which was born with Microtia and has been diagnosed as severely deaf. We have been lucky that this diagnosis came within a few weeks of him being born and he has already been fitted with cochlear' s which made an instant difference. i have decided to learn BSL so I can communicate with my grandson on all levels and I'm enjoying it immensely. Thanks for your time and I look forward to reading all your comments and tips for the future.

      Looking for BSL practice buddy

      By Storm Rae · Posted

      Hello   I have just registered on Signature to guide me through my part time, Saturday morning BSL, L1 course. Most of the class is half my age and prefer to practice all over London and What's App. The college does not offer a year 2 buddy / peer support. We are advised to practice using YouTube or apps. But these tools do not offer reflective learning . Does anyone know what difference between  the BSL Homework 1, 2 & 3 ? All three BSL Homework are priced differently but the description suggest they offer the same I may purchase the cheapest   Storm Rae
