In general terms, learning will be directed through the following set of techniques and actions:
- Practice of oral expression in French
- Exercise individual and group exercises (dictations, exercises of phonetic discrimination, debates, dialogues, oral expositions on specific subjects, etc ...)
- Autonomous activities: preparation of tests, readings, information search ...
- Classroom exchanges (teacher-student, student-student)

Assessment
Continuous assessment is carried out for this subject and it will include the work done throughout the course, both the various tests and the works delivered throughout the semester. Student will know about de grades via Moodle.
- It will be considered as 'NOT ASSESSABLE' if the student has given less than 30% of the assignments assigned to the course and has performed less than 30% of the tests. Therefore, if the student has done more than 30% of each part, it will be evaluated.
- The second exam will only be offered to those students who, having carried out a continuous assessment, have failed some of the tests or/and did not submit some of the activities requiered, which they can repeat or deliver (provided they have given 2/3 of the assignments) and have obtained a minimum grade of 3.5 / 10). Some tasks can not be repeated (participation in class, oral presentations, exercises done in class). The type of activities offered to the student in this second exam may depend on the case.
Plagiarism: The total and partial plagiarism of any of the exercises will automatically be considered FAILED (0) of the plagiarized exercise. Plagiarism is to copy from unidentified sources of a text, it is a single phrase or more, which is passed through its own production (this includes copying phrases or fragments of the Internet and adding them without modifications to the text that is presented as its own ), it is a serious offense.
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.
In the event that tests or exams cannot be taken onsite, they will be adapted to an online format made 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.
Particular cases: French-speaker students must follow the same assessment conditions as other students. The responsibility of the follow-up of the class activities and evaluation falls exclusively to the student.
