Assessment

The information about the evaluation, the type of evaluation activity and its weight on the subject is for information purposes. The teacher in charge of the subject will specify it in beginning of the course.

 Evaluation system

Continuous formative evaluation of the learning and final evaluation of the language level. The evaluation system is organized in modules distributed in written and oral works and tests.

 Evaluation system and activities:

- Carrying out textual work on topics related to foreign language for translators and interpreters.

- Carrying out tests of real tasks and/or simulated textual communication in a foreign language.

- Textual / oral comprehension and production tests.

 

Evaluation and diagnostic techniques used

For continuous and final assessment, different types of assessment, common in language teaching, will be combined (see CEFR, Chapter 9.3):

- Continuous formative assessment in written or oral tasks.

- Assessment of language proficiency at the end of the semester.

 

 What to take into account for the evaluation in English B1

1. Theoretical knowledge will not be evaluated but always its application in the resolution of tasks, exercises or practical tests.

2. In the final written tests for the assessment of language proficiency or level - reading comprehension and written summary - a minimum grade of 5.0 must be achieved for the CEFR mark. Warning: if you do not achieve it, you will not obtain the qualification for the mastery or level of criteria for the language of the subject, set out in section 4 of this guide. That is to say, the student who does not obtain a pass in these two final tests will not be entitled to a certification of his level according to the Common European Framework of Reference / Royal Decree 1041/2017, Article 7,1.2.

3. The binding languagelevels correspond to Royal Decree 1041/2017 and the specific criterion levels FTI-MCER, indicated in sections 4 and 5.

4. Failure to submit a minimum of 66.6% of the continuous assessment work within the established deadlines (see Section 10), or failure to submit to one of the tests for the assessment of language proficiency or level (final assessments), will be considered as "non-assessable".

 

 Resit

Make-up is available to students who have presented themselves to activities with a weight equivalent to 66.6% (two-thirds) or more of the final grade and who have earned a weighted average grade of 3.5 or more.

 

A "non-assessable" grade will be assigned when the assessment evidence provided by the student is equivalent to a maximum of one quarter of the total grade for the subject.

 

In both cases the student will present himself exclusively to the activities or tests not presented or suspended.

 

Evaluations linked to an academic and/or professional work of six-monthly or annual duration, for example the translation project, are excluded from the grade recovery.

 

Excluded from grade recovery are tests suspended for copying or plagiarism.

 

In no case will it be possible to recover a grade by means of a final test equivalent to 100% of the grade. 

 

IMPORTANT

We would like to remind you that "copying" is considered to be a work that reproduces all or a large part of the work from one / to another / to a colleague / to another, and "plagiarism" is the fact of presenting part or all of an author's text as one's own, that is, without citing the sources, whether it is published on paper or in digital form on the Internet. Copying and plagiarism are intellectual thefts and therefore constitute a fault that will be sanctioned with the note "zero". Inthe case of copying between two students, if it is not possible to know who copied who, the sanction will be applied to both students. If there are several irregularities in the evaluation activities of the same subject, the final grade of this subject will be 0.
