Methodology
Modern Language II subject is instrumental and essentially practical. The emphasis on training activities will focus on the active participation of the students in order to achieve the competences foreseen in this teaching guide.
Overall, learning will be conducted by the following techniques and actions:
1) Problem-based learning (PBL) and communication tasks.
2) Simulated situations and case resolution. Personal exercises.
3) Master class.
4) Performance of tutored coursework (essays, oral/written comprehension/production, presentations, critical text commentary, information research).
Assessment
The score marks of assignments assessed and final exam will require achieving a sufficient skill level, according to the expected learning outcomes, described in this teaching guide.
The assessment system will be divided into three modules:
1) Tests on written and oral comprehension, and use of grammar and vocabulary.
2) Oral presentation.
3) Written paper.
Course evaluation will be continuous and will include all the activities completed along the course, both tests and assignments submitted during the semester.
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.
It will be accounted 'non-assessable' when the student has completed less than 2/3 of the activities assessed.
To participate in make-up work and/or exams, the student must have been previously assessed on a set of activities weighing at least 2/3 on the overall grade. Students with an average grade equal or higher than 3.5 will have access to make-up exam. Certain assignments are not suitable for the make-up process (participation in class, oral presentations, and activities in class).
At the time of each activity assessed, the student group will be informed of the procedure and the date of grade review.
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.
SPECIAL CASES: Students who are Galician language speakers will have to fulfil the same evaluation criteria as regular students, even when considered as exempt from attending class. The responsibility for the monitoringand the assessment of training activities lies exclusively with the student.
