For the grade A, B, C or D, answer A, B, C or D…

Interesting story in The Telegraph about a school not too far away from Applied Language Solutions Head Office (no connection!), that has suspended five teachers for helping pupils to pass language examinations.

The language specialist high-school in Little Lever, near Bolton, will also withhold results for papers submitted for French, German and Spanish examinations.

Encouraged? Cheating pupils reportedly aided by teachers!

Nothing to do with us: ALS does NOT condone cheating, even when copying Martin Prince!

James Stangroom, Applied Language Solutions Director of Interpreting Services, had this to say about the reports:

“Anyone who works with languages will know just how important self-development is for those who eventually come to make a living from their language skills. It’s interesting that these reports are about a specialist language school, so it would be a shame if they had any truth in them.”

Applied language offers professional language courses and has over 14,000 linguists based worldwide who provide translation and interpreting.
