Qualificació
Pronunciation practice, as well as pre-primary and primary pronunciation tasks, will be evaluated through a blog that each student will create.
Students must complete all required entries with the expected level of accuracy. The blog will be evaluated through self-assessment, peer assessment, and teacher assessment.
A class presentation of a didactic proposal will be delivered and evaluated by the teacher, by the student themselves, and by peers.
One or more tests will be conducted online.
Class participation will be evaluated by the teacher.
Students who fail the subject or do not meet the minimum compulsory attendance requirements will be required to take a re-sit test.
Resit Eligibility
Students will only be eligible for the resit if they meet one of the following conditions:
a) They have not passed the continuous assessment, have taken the single assessment on the scheduled date and time, and have failed it;
b) They have taken the single assessment and failed it.
Criteris específics de la nota «No Presentat»:
Students who have not completed any of the assessment activities will receive a "Not presented" grade for the course.
Avaluació única:
This consists in a written exam plus an oral presentation related to the content worked on during the module plus the blog or site with all the activities and tasks related to all the units (done individually). Students are expected to prepare for the exam by familiarising themselves with the material posted on the Moodle. The assessment percentages change, the 20% for class participation is in non-continuous assessment distributed among other sections: 30% blog, 40% test, and 30% final presentation. To pass the course, students must obtain a minimum grade of 5 in the final exam and must also independently pass the portfolio
Requisits mínims per aprovar:
Participation in this module is considered to be an essential part of students’ training. In view of this, attendance is compulsory. Students who do not attend at least 80% of classes will be required to sit the Non-Continuous Assessment Exam and tasks at the end of the module.
To pass the subject, a minimum grade of 5.0 is required. Students must obtain a minimum score of 5 in each component in order to have their final grade averaged.
Tutoria
Tutoring will be provided at previously agreed times, either in person or online, depending on each student’s individual circumstances.
Comunicació i interacció amb l'estudiantat
The interaction will be primarily in person, but teachers and students may communicate via email, Moodle, and other previously agreed platforms.
Observacions
According to the level of the subject, students will be required to have a good command of English in order to follow the lessons.
Class sessions will combine teacher explanations, students discoveries, debates, quizzes, and student presentations to share activities. Active participation in the sessions is expected and is considered to be an essential part of the training of future English teachers.
Laptops will be required for work both in and out of class.
The use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools is permitted for certain tasks that students must complete to support their learning and resource development. However, AI tools are not allowed during evaluative activities such as tests, exams, or whenever the teaching staff explicitly indicates their prohibition. If the use of AI is suspected or detected in such cases, the student may be required to retake the test, exam, or assignment and defend their work orally (which may be recorded). This oral defense will serve to verify the student’s competencies and ensure the authenticity of the assessment.
