A level of B2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages is required.

(Verb tenses, comparisons, and conditionals among others) Also the acquisition of the vocabulary, error correction, text comprehension and organization in writing will also be worked on.
Units 1, 2, 3 and 5 of the book will be covered as well as other material to practice what is being covered in the course.

The Class will be evaluated in the following way:
Continuous Assessment 35%
- 4 tests (can not be recuperated)
- 2 writing assignments
Presentation 10%
Final Exam 45%
Speaking Activities 10%
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.
Re-assessment:
Re-assessment for this subject requires a content-synthesis test, for which the following conditions are applicable:
- The student must previously have submitted a minimum of two-thirds of the course-assessment items.
- The student must previously have obtained an average overall grade equal to or higher than 3.5.
- The student must previously have passed 2 of the 4 tests
- The maximum grade than can be obtained through re-assessment is a 5.
Students will obtain a Not assessed/Not submitted course grade unless they have submitted more than 35% of the assessment items.
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.
