Universidad de Jaén

-Features of spoken English grammar.

-Current spoken English.

-Extended lexicon and functions in English.

-Spoken English: from theory to practice.

The nature of the course allows an essentially practical approach to develop the basic communicative skills in the oral mode (oral comprehension and expression, and interaction). The contents will be divided into two blocks, theoretical and practical, and we will focus on the following topics:

BLOCK 1. THEORY:

FEATURES OF SPOKEN ENGLISH GRAMMAR

CURRENT SPOKEN ENGLISH

EXTENDED LEXICON AND FUNCTIONS IN ENGLISH

SPOKEN ENGLISH: FROM THEORY TO PRACTICE

BLOCK 2. PRACTICE:

The textbook Miles Craven: Real Listening & Speaking 4 will be followed, which we will supplement with additional material for listening, speaking and interaction practice.

DETAILED INFORMATION:
The methodology applied will focus on the students' performance, both in theoretical and practical classes. In the first ones, students will be asked for a previous preparation, by means of the reading of material available in virtual teaching, and the realization of activities in class. In the practical classes, and given the nature of the course, a balance will be sought between activities of a more receptive nature (oral comprehension) and those of a more productive nature (oral expression and interaction).

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 grading system will be regulated by the RD 1125/2003 from September 5, 2003, which establishes the European credit system and the grading system for official university degrees.  

Regular attendance and active participation in class activities. This section will account for 20% of the overall grade (Competences: CB4, E01, G07. Outcomes: R02, R08).

Final oral presentation. Originality, good use of spoken English and previous preparation work will be taken into account. This section is worth 30% (Competences: CB5, E16. Results: R09).

Final written exam on theoretical and practical content. Good use of English, precision in the definition of concepts and inclusion of examples that justify the theoretical explanations will be valued. This section will be valued on 50% of the overall grade (Competences: CB1, CB3, E28, G01. Results: R05, R11).

For students who, for any reason, cannot attend class regularly, an evaluation plan will be designed to help compensate for the absence of sections 1 and 2. Students who find themselves in this circumstance must notify the teachers of the subject within the first four weeks of the course.

Likewise, students who are forced to retake the final exam will be evaluated exclusively on the basis of the exam (written and oral), at the student's request.
