This subject follows a CLIL approach, that is, it has a double focus on pedagogical content and on language development. In-class lessons combine lectures with whole class and small group discussions, workshops, debates, presentations and other participative activities. Students are expected to be autonomous learners and to complete self-directed online learning and reading in order to then present their understanding and findings to their classmates and professors.
The target language (English) is the vehicular language in all classes, although readings and audiovisuals in other languages may be used. Non-discriminatory use of language, inclusive practices will be ensured as well as gender perspective.
Students will work collaboratively towards end products that display their comprehension of the CLIL approach. Demonstration of having achieved a more than superficial understanding of the contents will be in a conference format with colleagues, in-service teachers and other education agents as audience, when possible (see evaluation for more details).
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.

Continuous assessment
The continuous assessment is divided into these percentages:
- Individual assessment 50%:
Exam; linguistic competence in the target language (20%) (December 19, 2024).
Self-directed learning (Reading commentary (October 17*) and video analysis (November 28). (30%)
- Teacher-directed learning and group activities (creation, self-evaluation and co-evaluation of an CLIL project proposal: programming with activities and teaching materials) (December 9 and 12). (30%).
- Presentation, self-evaluation and final co-evaluation of group and/or couple (December 9 and 10). (15%)
- Self-directed learning. Assessment on work done and skills development through a personal reflection. (December 19). (5%)
Assessment tools:
- Participation in scheduled activities and completion of the task within the established deadlines*. Evaluated through co-evaluation, self-evaluation and return and evaluation by the teacher according to the averages achieved through compiled rubrics, qualitative comments and checklists.
- Final product (CLIL project) and presentation with co-assessment, self-assessment and feedback by the teacher, according to the descriptors described in a rubric and checklist.
- Individual exam with rubric provided on exam day: December 19, 2024
*We take away 1 point per day late for assignments turned in after the deadlines. Feedback will not be provided on assignments turned in after the deadlines.
Given the importance of participation and the practicality of the subject, continuous assessment requires 80% attendance, in order to be able to carry out the continuous assessment. Otherwise,the final grade will be 'notassessable'. The supporting documents that are sometimes presented in case of absence serve only to explain the absence, in no case are they an exemption from attendance. If someone cannot meet the percentage of attendance established, they cannot take part in the continuous assessment, and they will have to attend the recovery, as long as they have previously submitted 66% of the assessment activities.
Being late or leaving before the class/activity may affect your attendance mark.
Requirements to pass the subject for continuous assessment:
80% attendance;
Complete scheduled, self-directed and/or in-class activities;
Comply with the deadlines and criteria for the presentation of materials;
Demonstrate appropriate communicative competence in the target language.
Additional information on final presentations of CLIL materials:
Final products will be presented in conference format at the end of the course. These materials will represent CLIL lessons/mini-units/learning boxes/mini-lesson cycles/emergency plans for substitute teachers, etc. The materials will be contextualized in an authentic situation and will include integrated language and content knowledge, skills and competencies. In addition, they will take into account attention to diversity, gender perspective and inclusive education.
NOTE: Considering the nature of the course (specialization in the teaching of English as a foreign language), a separate individual qualification will be made for communicative competence in the language of instruction (English). Students who do notpass this assessment will not pass the subject. This grade is calculated progressively using assessment rubrics and according to the required activities (written and oral).
Single Assessment:
Students can opt for a single assessment that must be officially requested with administration.
The evaluation of the course encompasses the development of the identified basic competences for the subject. Given the importance of participation, attendance is mandatory: the student must attend a minimum of 80% of the classes. Any documentation presented to justify absence serves as an explanation but does not imply an exemption from the course requirements. If someone cannot meet the requirements for attendance, they are advised to opt for the resit. This is possible only in the case of having submitted 66% of the evaluation tasks.
The resit will take place under the same conditions as the ones for the continuous assessment, described below.
Arriving late or leaving early from class may negatively impact the attendance mark.
Students who opt for a single evaluation must present all the evaluation activities of the course, the same ones as for the conitinuous assessment, on the day of the final exam (December 19, 2024)
Additional information on final presentations of CLIL materials:
Final products will be presented in conference format at the end of the course. These materials will represent CLIL lessons/mini-units/learning boxes/mini-lesson cycles/emergency plans for substitute teachers, etc. The materials will be contextualized in an authentic situation and will include integrated language and content knowledge, skills and competencies. In addition, they will take into account attention to diversity, gender perspective and inclusive education.
Resit:
All students can only opt for the resit exam if and when they have previously been assessed in a set of activities whose weight is equivalent to a minimum of two-thirds (66%) of the subject's total grade.
The resit exam will take place on January 27th, 2025, for both continuous and single assessment.
The resit exam will consist of a written and an oral task, both related to the subject content, tasks and project. The duration of the tasks will be 3 hours.
The highest grade that can be obtained in recovery is a 5/10.
Important information:
Copying and plagiarism is intellectual theft and therefore constitutes a crime that will be punished with a suspension from the entire blog/activity where the plagiarism occurred. In case of copying between two students, the penalty applies to both students. Cases of recidivism will result in a suspension for the entire course. It should be noted that plagiarism is reproducing all or part of another's work without proper references. By definition, "plagiarism" is the use of materials prepared by an author as their own work, without citing the sources, whether in paper or digital format. If you need more information about what constitutes plagiarism you can consult this web page.
It is for this reason that, in addition, the projects and materials presented must be of their own creation. If resources created by others such as videos, texts and/or images, among others, are used as part of the didactic material of the projects, these must be properly referenced in the bibliography/webography section.
Bibliography
Recommended bibliography (many of the references in this list are useful for autonomous work). Specific bibliography to some of the activities will be given at the beginning of the course or during the course. Due to the rapid updates of webpages, an additional list of links may be given at the beginning of the course.
Online resources
We will use and explore tools that can support CLIL approaches to language learning (e.g. Canva, Kahoot, Genially, Padlet, online processors). Students are not expected to be familiar with all the tools and apps introduced into the class but should be open to learning to use them.
