The main purpose of this course is that students accomplish the objectives established by the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages for this level, in which learners should be able to understand the main points of a clear text in the standard language (...) , in a professional, study or leisure context, and be able to deal with most situations that may arise during a journey through spaces where the target language is used, producing simple and coherent texts and describing experiences, events, desires and aspirations, as well as briefly justifying their opinions and plans.
To achieve the previously mentioned objectives, the simultaneous practice of theory and practice (practical classes/seminars) is essential as well as enabling students to demonstrate their knowledge at the time of assessment. Therefore all tasks focus on diverse, complementary aspects, worked during the semester.
All communicative activities (oral and written expression, oral and written interaction, reading comprehension and mediation) are performed in class; however, special attention will be given to the activities of production, once the majority of students show more difficulties in this type of activities. Hence, production activities will be performed both in the classroom and through homework and assessment tests so that the spontaneous participation of students dealing with topics both of personal or academic interest (cultural and abstract topics, sports, ecology...), the ability to report events and describe situations (using arguments and reasoning) and the ability to write long sequences with a certain purpose may be achieved.
The main types of texts to be used to achieve these goals are: formal letters asking for information and opinion texts/essays on various topics worked in the classroom.

Students are required to attend 75 % of classes and a record is kept of attendance, with exceptions according to FLUP regulations.
The type of assessment is distributed evaluation without final exam and the final mark will be calculated based on the following components of assessment: writing and speaking (50%-50%).
Writing: two tests which will be done with all the students together on a Friday or a Saturday. The first test will take place in the middle of the semester and the second at the end of the semester. The first test will be worth 10 and the second 10. To be assessed in the speaking part, students need to get minimum 9/20 considering the sum of both written tests.
Speaking: a final paired speaking test will take place in June, after classes have finished. In order to pass this curricular unit, students must obtain the minimum mark of 9/20 in the speaking part.
Those students who do not obtain the minimum mark to pass the curricular unit will have the opportunity to attend a written test and a speaking test (50%-50%) at the end of the course.Students must read a book, because the oral test will be based on comments and questions about the reading. Students will be informed about the reading at the beginning of the semester.

According to FLUP regulations.
Only those students who have passed the subject in former years have the opportunity to improve (“melhoria”) the oral or writing marks, by attending the writing tests during the semester or a final written test at the end of the course and, in both cases, a speaking test at the end of the semester.
The type of evaluation is distributed without a final exam and consists of two components, both compulsory:
1) WRITTEN PART (6 points): writing a text (200-250 words) about one of the topics studied during the semester. This test will take place on May 27 at 19:30 (date established at the beginning of the semester for one of the written tests) and it will be submitted on Moodle.
2) ORAL PART (14 points): oral test, in pairs, in June (dates to be determined), by Zoom/Colibri. Specific questions can be asked by teachers in order to use certain vocabulary, opinion expression resources or verbal tenses. It consists of two parts:
- oral interaction based on the compulsory reading (Modelos de mujer, Almudena Grandes).
- oral interaction based on communicative situations studied during the semester.
Those students who do not obtain 10/20 may repeat the oral test, on a date that will be duly indicated.
Those students who, for justified reasons, do not take the assessment activities may have the possibility to take the written and oral part on a date that will be duly indicated.
Only those students who have passed the discipline in previous years can improve the grade, taking both components of the assessment.
More information about the assessment activities and the evaluation criteria can be found in Moodle and in the "Documents" of Sigarra.
