Chinese language teaching will follow the communicative approach and task-based learning.

Learning activities are organised into three categories based on the degree of student autonomy involved:

• Directed activities (90 h): each unit’s content will be explained and there will be exercises involving the four basic skills (reading, listening, writing and speaking), characters and pronunciation, grammar points, vocabulary, translation, revision of previous content, etc. These activities will be carried out individually or in pairs or larger groups.
• Supervised activities (51 h): listening, speaking, characters and pronunciation exercises and correction of exercises.
• Autonomous activities (150 h): calligraphy, pronunciation, study of characters and vocabulary, preparation and review of new content, correction of exercises, self-assessment.
• To achieve the established objectives, students must attend class regularly, study new content in advance, carry out exercises and review previous content.
• Assessment activities consist of exams and the preparation of a portfolio.

To achieve the established objectives, students must attend class regularly, study new content in advance, carry out exercises and review previous content.

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.

Assessment consists of two components:

• Teaching portfolio: 30%
• Two tests: 30% (midterm) + 40% (final), covering the following aspects: pronunciation, characters, oral and written comprehension, oral and written expression, and grammar

In the case of retaking an exam (or retaking or compensating for any other assessment activity), the highest mark that can be obtained is 5/10.

Related matters

The above information on assessment, assessment activities and their weighting is merely a guide. The subject's lecturer will provide full information when teaching begins.

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. Portfolio is excluded from the activities that can be retaken. 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 asingle assignment to cover a number 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 will be classified as \"not assessable\" on their transcript.

Misconduct in assessment activities

Students who engage in misconduct (plagiarism, copying, impersonation, 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 final mark of “0” for the subject.

Students may not retake assessment activities in which they 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.

SINGLE ASSESSMENT

This subject may be assessed under the single assessment system in accordance with the terms established in the academic regulations of the UAB and the assessment criteria of the Faculty of Translation and Interpreting.

Students must make an online request within the period established by the faculty and send a copy to the teacher responsible for the subject, for the record.

Single assessment will be carried out in person on one day during week 16 or 17 of the semester. The Academic Management Office will publish the exact date and time on the faculty website.

On the day of the single assessment, teaching staff will ask the student for identification, which should be presented as a valid identification document with a recent photograph (student card, DNI/NIE or passport).

Single assessment activities

The final grade for the subject will be calculated according to the following percentages:

• Oral expression test: 30%
• Written expression test: 30%
• Test of other skills: 30%
• Student portfolio: 10%

Grade revision and resit procedures for the subject are the same as those for continuous assessment. See the section above in this study guide.

Use of generative artificial intelligence

Any irregularity committed in an assessment activity (including academic fraud, plagiarism or improper use of AI, unless such use is expressly authorised in the course guide), that may lead to a significant change in the mark, will result in that assessment activity being awarded a mark of 0. If the course guide establishes that, in order to pass the course, students must obtain a minimum mark in that assessment activity, or if several irregularities occur in the assessment activities of the same course, the final mark for the course will be 0. In addition, disciplinary proceedings may be initiated against any student who commits any of these irregularities.
