Reduced group work sessions. The evaluation of both the group works and the exhibition, will evaluate the communicative skill and resources used by the students more than if the person makes a correct use of the grammar/syntax of the language used.
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.
