Methodology
The course will comply with the syllabus, carrying out interactive activities to facilitate students' learning.
The methodology applied in language classes and in Spanish, in particular, is as follows:
- Participatory sessions, giving priority to communicative aspects though without obviating grammar.
- Greater emphasis on oral skills through presentations, class discussions and interactive activities between students, all in a comfortable setting that facilitates students' learning.
- Motivating students in class to encourage their participation and learning.
Due to the worldwide health emergency caused by COVID-19, it is envisaged that at least the first term be done in online mode, combining synchronous classes with flexible offline work.
Assessment criteria
To evaluate students, faculty will consider the objectives described above.
Students' final marks will comprise the following:
1. Ongoing assessment (50%): evaluated class activities.
2. Final exam (50%).
Students must pass the 2 parts (oral and written) to pass this subject.
