To achieve the established learning objectives, this course is primarily based on practical classes following a communicative approach.

Students are expected to keep up to date with the information and announcements posted on the Virtual Campus/Moodle site, including assignments to be completed outside class, submission deadlines, assessment arrangements, and other relevant course information.

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

• The schedule of theoretical and practical tests will be announced well in advance and cannot be modified. Incoming exchange students who request to take an exam earlier must submit to the lecturer a written document from their home university justifying their request. In duly justified cases, the theoretical and practical test that a student was unable to attend may be taken on the date scheduled for the single assessment.

SINGLE ASSESSMENT

• Students may opt for single assessment in accordance with the requirements and conditions set out in the academic regulations. This involves submitting, on a single date, the necessary number of assessment tasks to demonstrate and guarantee the achievement of the course objectives and learning outcomes.
• Students must submit the electronic application within the deadline established by the Faculty.
• Single assessment will take place on a single day. On the day of the assessment, teaching staff will request identification; students must present a valid identity document with a recent photograph (student ID card, national ID, or passport).

The single assessment will consist of the following components:

1. Reading assignment: 10%

2. Listening assignment: 20%

3 Speaking assignment: 25% %

4. Writing assignment: 25%

5. Grammar and vocabulary assignment: 20%

• The same resit system as for continuous assessment will apply.

REVIEW AND RESIT

• At the time each assessment activity is carried out, the lecturer will inform students (via Moodle) of the procedure and date for reviewing marks.
• In order to be eligible for the resit, students must have previously been assessed on a set of activities whose weight is equivalent to at least two-thirds of the total grade. The resit will consist of a final comprehensive exam. Only students who have failed and obtained a minimum final average mark of 3.5 out of 10 will be eligible.
• Oral presentations, tasks related to regular teaching activities, and the submission of coursework are excluded from the resit.
• The resit will consist of a theoretical and practical test.
• Students in single assessment must have completed all assessment activities in order to be eligible for the resit.

NOT ASSESSED AND ETHICS

• Students who have completed less than 30% of the assessment activities will be graded as “NOT ASSESSED”.
• Any irregularity committed by a student that may lead to a significant alteration of the grade of a given assessment activity will result in a mark of 0 for that activity, regardless of any disciplinary proceedings that may arise. If several irregularities are detected in the assessment activities of the same course, the final grade for the course will be 0.
• This subject entirely prohibits the use of AI technologies in all of its activities. Any submitted work that contains content generated using AI will be considered academic dishonesty; the corresponding grade will be awarded a zero, without the possibility of reassessment. In cases of greater infringement, more serious action may be taken.
• In case of doubt, teaching staff will propose an interview with the students involved, during which they must justify their answers and the reasoning behind the submitted tests or exercises.
