> Students will be expected to “engage in two-way communication” and to “make connections, gain insights, synthesise and evaluate ideas” in an assessment worth 20 per cent.
> There are also plans for a separate creative writing task, also worth 20 per cent, where candidates will be asked to produce an original piece in response to a brief during class time.
> Under the proposals, the traditional written exam will go from two papers to one and will be worth 60 per cent.
>While there will be a higher and lower written exam, the oral exam and creative writing tasks will be a “common level” assessment.

People have a colloquial way of speaking . Will there be a class element to this, speaking proper without our idioms, and speaking in a way that’s connected to our native language. I’d hate if that would be lost. The way we speak is different to the way we write.
This is going to be really terrible for boys and working class kids.
It’s going to be really good at preventing AI muck, which is important too tbf.
I get that it’s a balancing act but I dunno.
Well, Cork kids are fucked so.
If this exam will assess speaking English correctly, then the teachers themselves need help. I have friends who are teachers who say things like “I seen that” or “He done that”. They also don’t know the “rules” around countable nouns e.g. they say “The amount of cars”. They don’t understand that rob and steal are different things “They were driving in a robbed car”
Gonna be a lot of Ralph moments.
Also I would assume this will benefit students with issues such as dyslexia, who may find it easier to make arguments orally rather than having to put everything to page.
This generation of kids have their own new language that examiners will have to be clued up on. Sick isn’t just ill anymore, it means great nowadays. There are a ton of new words like slay and sigma that is in their everyday use. I hope the examiners will be ready for them.
I’m here for the oral I says. I won’t says she. But sure I could talk the legs of a donkey I says.
No this is going to be terrible. The junior cert reforms have been terrible and have totally dumbed down kids. This will do the same. The leaving cert as it is, is very tough but objectively the most fair it can be.
Are they sneaking in things, in their mouths now?
