The sessions will base on texts written in Chinese (corresponding to B1/B2 MCER level) that students will have to read and analyze. For each text, there will be two students (working in pairs) who will present the contextualization of the text, identifying the cultural references, the topics covered and the key aspects. This will also be one of the assessment activities. From the presentation of the students, the responsible teachers will expand the topic and make a broader historical, social and cultural context. Teachers will also prepare complementary activities (mediation activities of different types where students will need to apply cultural knowledge to solve problems they may encounter when translating, interpreting or transferring the contents of texts into their mother tongues) to complete the content of the sessions.

The continuous assessment will consist of the following activities:

• Preparation, documentation, and oral presentation of an analysis text (pair activity) (25% of the final grade). Texts at B1/B2 level will be worked on, and cultural knowledge will need to be acquired and applied to solve translation, interpretation, or cultural-transfer problems of the text content for a target audience that speaks Catalan or Spanish.
• Commenting on a text based on the instructions provided in class (15% of the final grade). It will be a text at B1/B2 level, and cultural knowledge will need to be acquired and applied to solve translation, interpretation, or cultural-transfer problems of the text content into Catalan or Spanish.
• Participation in class and campus activities (10% of the final grade).
• Vocabulary and topics assessment tests (10% of the final grade).
• Final exam (40% of the final grade) with true/false questions, multiple-choice questions, and problem-solving exercises related to mediation issues. The texts will be of a similar typology as those studied during the semester.

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. Under no circumstances may an assessment activity worth 100% of the final mark be retaken or compensated for. 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 anumber of such activities.

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 willbe 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 students involved will be given a finalmark of \"0\" for the subject. Students may not retake assessment activities in whichthey are found to have engaged in misconduct. Plagiarism is considered to mean presenting all or part of an author's work, whether published in print or in digital format, as one's own, i.e. without citing it. Copying is considered to mean reproducing all or a substantial part of another student's work. In cases of copying in which it is impossible to determine which of two students has copied the work of the other, both will be penalised.

PLEASE BE INFORMED THAT this subject is not suitable for single assessment.

In this course, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is not permitted at any stage of the assessment activities. Any work that includes AI-generated content will be considered a breach of academic integrity and will be graded a 0, regardless of any disciplinary proceedings that may be initiated.
