The work in the class will be articulated around the text book.
The main emphasis will be on the presentation and explanation of grammatical contents and on the practice of communication skills. Supervised tasks can be done individually or in group.
It is expected that students not only acquire a mechanical domain of the language contents, but also be able to use them when it comes to communicating effectively. The development of a positive attitude in the communicative field will be valued and allow the student to try to understand oral and written texts in Korean.
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

Continuous assessment
Students must provide evidence of their progress by completing various tasks and tests. These activities are detailed in the table at the end of this section of the Study Guide.
Review
When publishing final marks prior to recording them on students' transcripts, the lecturer will provide written notification of a date and time for reviewing assessment activities. Students must arrange reviews in agreement with the lecturer.
Missed/failed assessment activities
Students may retake assessment activities they have failed or compensate for any they have missed, provided that those they have actually performed account for a minimum of 66.6% (two thirds) of the subject's final mark and that they have a weighted average mark of at least 3.5.
The lecturer will inform students of the procedure involved, in writing, when publishing final marks prior to recording them on transcripts. The lecturer may set one assignment per failed or missed assessment activity or a single assignment to cover a number of such activities. Under no circumstances may an assessment activity worth 100% of the final mark be retaken or compensated for. In case of retaking, maximum grade will be 5 (Pass).
Classification as "not assessable"
In the event of the assessment activities a student has performed accounting for just 25% or less of the subject's final mark, their work will be classified as "not assessable" on their transcript.
Misconduct in assessment activities
Students who engage in misconduct (plagiarism, copying, personation, etc.) in an assessment activity will receive a mark of “0” for the activity in question. In the case of misconduct in more than one assessment activity, the student involved will be given a final mark of “0” for the subject. Assessment activities in whichirregularities have occurred (e.g. plagiarism, copying, impersonation) are excluded from recovery.
Single assessment
The final grade for the subject will be calculated according to the following percentages:
-Grammatical knowledge 25%
-Vocabulary skills evaluation 25%
-Evaluation of writing and speaking exercises 25%
-Teaching folder 25%
Grade revision and resit procedures for the subject are the same as those for continual assessment. See the section above in this study guide.
