In this webinar, we will explore the support offered by Cambridge English Language Assessment to candidates with special educational needs including visual impairments, speaking impairments, hearing impairments or learning difficulties. We will consider how Cambridge English can help these learners across the full range of our exams and in the assessment of different language skills, and also where there are limitations to the support that can be offered in high stakes examinations.
We will also discuss how teachers can help their learners with SEN to prepare effectively for Cambridge English exams, both in the classroom and with exam strategies.
