Dictionaries, examinations and stress

Pages 57-65 | Published online: 06 Aug 2007
 

Abstract

The aim of this research was to assess Open University students' attifudes to being allowed to use dictionaries in our French examinations. We wanted to find out if they agreed with the policy, how they used their dictionaries and whether they thought that the dictionaries helped or hindered them in completing the papers. We found that much of what they said was related to the relief of stress.
