| V-LANG-662 | The evaluation includes: • 10% = class attendance (ACTIVE!) = attend all classes and participate in group work. This is not remediable. • 30% = Offline assignments (including Moodle self-study, and homework (text, presentation, etc.)). This is not remediable. • 60% = Final assessment (speaking, writing, reading and listening) If the student passes the pre-course test (13/20), he/she gets dispensation from the said course. The mark given on the pre-course test will be converted to meet the level of the final examination/ evaluation, as productive skills cannot be extensively tested. Students will be tested on: - listening and reading skills - knowledge and use of grammar and vocabulary - speaking skills |

| V-LANG-662 | The material will be the same as in the first session. It will consist of a final evaluation (reading, writing, listening and speaking) that will count for 60% of the final grade. Note: the 10% for attendance and the 30% for continuous assessment are not subject for remediation. The student will therefore keep the grades obtained during the first session for those two components. |
