Continuous Assessment

One practical teamwork (speaking) + one work record (listening): 40% (20%+20%)
Two written tests: 60% (written understanding and expression)

Under the terms of the Bachelor's Regulation:

1. The students' attendance in classes will be recorded and, if the number of absences per student exceeds 30% of the total number of lessons scheduled for each course unit, the student will be automatically transferred to the final evaluation (regular season).

2. In the written tests and other assessment elements mentioned in paragraph 2 of Art. 39 it is necessary to obtain a minimum grade of 7.5 (seven point five) points.

3. If the student misses a test or receives a grade lower than 7.5 points in the tests or in another assessment element mentioned in the previous number, the student will be automatically transferred to the final evaluation (regular season).

4. If the student misses or obtains less than 7.5 in the second written test, held in the same date of the final exam in the regular season, they may apply for further evaluation in the Appeal season.

Final Exam

The practical projects can also be considered, with half of the percentage defined for the continuous assessment, as long as the teacher is informed about this decision by the student.

Demonstration of the coherence between the teaching methodologies and the learning outcomes

The adopted methods presuppose the active participation of the student in several learning tasks (oral and written), directed in way to coordinate individual work, work in pairs and collective work.
The communicative and action oriented approach seeks the fast development of a linguistic autonomy through the execution of simple concrete tasks, related with the everyday life and the professional world
