Online Business English Examinations – Challenges and Solutions

Abstract

As the world has changed beyond recognition in the past few months, so have examinations. The present paper discusses strategies to adjust business English exams so as to fit the online environment in which they now need to take place. These changes represent a challenge not only for examiners and/ or teachers, but also for students, regardless of their age and background. After some theoretical considerations, we take a more practical approach by interviewing several teachers and students in order to gauge the main concerns on both sides and suggest solutions.
