Methodology
The methodology is basically interactive. Students have to put into practice their language knowledge in order to fulfil a series of tasks (spoken and written) in both a general context and in the field of hospitality. In other words, the emphasis is on the learning process rather than master classes by the teaching staff.
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.

In order to be eligible for reassessment, it is necessary to obtain at least a 3.5 in the set of evidence included in the continuous assessment (continuous activities and final test).
Reassessment involves retaking the parts of the final test in which their scores were below the overall average mark, in other words, the parts in which they obtained scores below 60%.
Single-assessment option
The single assessment to pass the course is based on the completion of a final exam. This final exam assesses the two language skills of writing and speaking. This exam is on the same day as the final continuous assessment test.
To pass the final exam, and therefore the course itself, the following is required:
a minimum mark of 50% must be obtained in each skill (each part of the exam).
An overall average grade of 60% is required.
Students who have failed are entitled to a reassessment.
Reassessment
The reassessment exam, when the student is evaluated through a single assessment, will be the same as that of the rest of the students: that is, in order to be eligible for reassessment exam, it is necessary to obtain at least a 3.5 in the set of evidence included in the single assessment.
Reassessment involves retaking the parts of the final exam in which their scores were below the overall average mark, in other words, the parts in which they obtained scores below 60%.
Changing the exam date
Students who cannot take the exam on the set dates due to health, work (trips or other similar obligations) or on compassionate grounds may ask their teacher for a change of date, supplying any necessary documents, and giving notice of at least seven calendar days except in extreme cases such as accidents. If the request is accepted, the exams must still be taken within the period set by the School of Tourism and Hotel Management.
