Qualificació
The English language courses at the UdG’s Faculty of Tourism are based on the following system of Continuous Assessment:
WORK IN PROGRESS 40%: Students are awarded 40% of their final mark by coming to all class sessions and completing the work assigned in and out of the classroom. Daily assignments given throughout the semester correspond to 6 units from the LIFE course book plus the 6 Tourism Modules on the course Moodle. Examples of work to be done include readings, writings, oral presentations, individual and group activities, videos with follow-up activities, weekly quizzes on the 4 skills (Reading, Writing, Listening & Speaking) and class debates.
EVALUATED TESTS 60%: In addition to work done in and out of class, students are awarded 60% of their final mark by taking a series of evaluated tests:
15%: Reading Test 1 (5%), Reading Test 2 (10%)
15%: Listening Test 1 (5%), Listening Test 2 (10%)
15%: Writing Test 1 (5%), Writing Test 2 (10%)
15%: 1 Oral Test (4.5%) 1 Oral Presentation (3%), 1 Oral Exam (7.5%)
In this way, each of the 4 skills have a total weight of 15%, with all 4 parts totalling 60% of the final mark.

Observacions
Per cursar aquesta assignatura l'alumne hauria haver consolidat prèviament el nivell B2.1 d'anglès. L'assistència amb regularitat (100%) és molt important donat que les classes són participatives i que el temari s’avança diàriament.
Students should have a solid B2.1 level of English to register for this course. Regular class attendance (100%) is a priority as classes involve active participation and subject matter is cumulative.
