Oral communication is practiced, based on theoretical grammar, through simple communication situations that progressively achieve a greater degree of difficulty.
Listening comprehension is practiced in class through the reading of texts appropriate to the level by the teacher and recordings.
For the exercise of reading comprehension, reading strategies are worked on in class on texts written at the corresponding level.
The exercise of written communication is done through essays, written dialogues, etc. that the student will have to elaborate regularly at home, by indication of the teacher, and that this one will correct.

Evaluation
I.) Continuous evaluation (= 50% of the final grade):
a) The continuous evaluation consists of the following parts: vocabulary, partial exams, essays and active participation.
b) There are two partial examinations, after lessons 2 and 4, which consist of the following parts: Oral Comprehension, Written Comprehension, Grammar and Vocabulary. Both oral exams must be passed with a minimum score of 5 out of 10.
c) At the end of each lesson, it is obligatory to have done the corresponding Quizlet exercises, at least 70%. The results will be evaluated with a score from 7 to 10.
d) There will be three essays, two at home and one in class.
e) The grade of the continuous assessment consists of the following parts: 1st partial examination - 20%, 2nd partial examination - 30%, essays - 20% (5+5+10), vocabulary - 20% (Quizlet), active participation - 10%.
II.) Final exam (= 50% of final grade):
1) All German language skills will be assessed: grammar, oral and written comprehension, oral and written expression.
2) In order to pass the final exam, each part of the final exam must be passed separately.
3) You must pass the final exam with a minimum score of 5 out of 10.
4) The subject is passed with a score of 5 out of 10 to the final grade, composed by the sum of the grades of the final exam and the continuous assessment.
5) Recovery is only for students who have passed at least 60% of the tasks and have obtained a minimum score of 3.5 out of 10 in the final exam and the continuous assessment.
6) The recovery thus consists of the suspended parts up to a maximum of 40% of the tasks of the continuous evaluation and the final exam.
7) Students will obtain a Not assessed/Not submitted course grade unless they have submitted all the assessment items.
In the event that tests or exams cannot be taken onsite, they will be adapted to an online formatmade available through the UAB’s virtual tools (original weighting will be maintained). Homework, activities and class participation will be carried out through forums, wikis and/or discussion on Teams, etc. Lecturers will ensure that students are able to access these virtual tools, or will offer them feasible alternatives.
Score review process
On carrying out each assessment activity, lecturers will inform students (on Moodle) of the procedures to be followed for reviewing all grades awarded, and the date on which such a review will take place.
PLAGIARISM
In the event of a student committing any irregularity that may lead to a significant variation in the grade awarded to an assessment activity, the student will be given a zero for this activity, regardless of any disciplinary process that may take place. In the event of several irregularities in assessment activities of the same subject, the student will be given a zero as the final grade for this subject.
