This is a course with a clearly practical orientation. There is one weekly whole-group session, when theoretical aspects will be studied and discussed, and three small-group practical sessions.
English will be the communication tool in class. Students are encouraged to be active participants in all the sessions. Oral and written skills will be practiced throughout the course.
Students with special educational needs should contact the Student Attention Service (Servicio de Atención y Ayudas al Estudiante) in order to receive the appropriate academic support
The examination consists of three parts. The first part is a qualifying written examination. The second part is a listening test. Students need to pass the written exam to be able to proceed to the listening test. As to the oral part, its assessment is entirely based on the oral presentations done throughout the course, which are compulsory.
The marks obtained throughout the course - continuous assessment (attendance and participation, 15% + oral presentations, 15% + written compositions, 20%) - will be added up to the mark obtained in the written examination (55%) and in the oral test (10%) provided that the student passes the written exam, which is qualifying.
