Daily assignments given throughout the semester correspond to 6 units from the LIFE course book and the 6 Tourism Modules found on the Moodle. Examples of work to be done include readings, writings, oral presentations, individual and group activities, videos with follow-up activities, sporadic quizzes on the 5 skills: Reading, Writing, Listening, Speaking and Use of English (Vocabulary & Grammar) and class debates.

EVALUATED TASKS 70%: In addition to work done in and out of class, students are awarded 70% of their final mark by taking a series of evaluated tests:
