3. CONTENT DESCRIPTION

This is an elementary course (beginners) on English for Specific Purposes (Tourism Industry). We will study grammatical structures, vocabulary (general and specific) as well as thematic contents related to the touristic sector.

In the course, we will address all four skills (speaking, reading, writing and listening), but oral comprehension and expression will be emphasized. The instruction has a practical nature combining practice and theory in the activities carried out during the course. Moreover, teamwork will be encouraged.

Students are expected to reach a B1 Level of English (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages)

 

4. COURSE DESCRIPTION AND TEACHING METHODOLOGY

This course has essentially a practical nature. The inclusion in the course of conceptual, linguistics and extra-linguistics aspects will help students to develop the four main skills of the English language. However, a special attention will be paid to oral comprehension and expression. Therefore, individual and group activities are directed towards students' oral reception and production.

Moreover, this course tries to recreate everyday situations presented in the working environment of the touristic industry in the most authentic way, not only in the material used, but also in the activities done in class.

To complement the required textbooks, additional material will be provided (worksheets etc.) so that all course contents can be covered.

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

5. ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY

Evaluation Criteria

--Students' active participation (20%): To be assessed based on students' regular attendance (10%) and completion of homework assignments for each class session (10%).

 --One group project (20%): To be assessed by the instructor (and classmates when possible). Students must participate in class sessions used for preparing these projects.

--Exam(s) (60%): It will assess theoretical and practical contents of the course in order to evaluate if students have reached a B1 level of English in all the different skills. This exam can be divided into various tests (continuous assessment) or carried out as a comprehensive final exam, at the instructor's discretion.

Students must receive a passing mark in the examination section (equal to or greater than 5) to pass the course. If that case, the final grade will be calculated using the percentages mentioned before.

Instructions for the group project and the exam(s) will be published in Docencia Virtual during the first weeks of the term.

For the second examination sitting ("convocatoria extraordinaria") the project will be 50% of the final grade, and the exam(s) will count for the other 50%.
