IMPORTANTIn order to pass this course, a minimum of 5
out of 10 in the
final mark is required. A score of 4 out of 10 is the minimum required
in each
of the parts of the course (reading/listening/speaking/writing/Use of
English).
Those students who get more than 5 in the two Use of English tests which
will be
done throughout the course will not have to take the official exam in
June. Deadlines for assignments are strict. Late submissions will be
penalized (25% off final mark), unless they are duly justified. Pieces
of work
including plagiarized material will be marked with 0.
Active participation in the different class activities, as well as
all the extra-credit material carried out by the students during the course,
could be awarded up to an extra 5% of the final mark. This can include
voluntary work, alternative readings or any other activity proposed and
accepted by students and teachers.
The students who do not attend the official exam will be given a
grade of NP (absent) if they have not handed in more than 50% of the continuous
assessement activities.
July opportunity:
Those
students who do not take or fail the official exam or get less than a 4

where students can retake those parts they have failed according to the
following distribution: listening comprehension (15%), writing tasks
(15%), reading comprehension (15%), speaking/interview (10%), project
