The working languages of the subject will be English, Spanish and Galician. The teacher will communicate with the students in English. Students will be able to use any of the three languages except in the oral and written assignments and in the exam in which the required language is English. The scores will always take into account the linguistic aspect (expression and pronunciation in English) and the content aspect. 

OTHER WAYS:  

In case of justified absence of the teacher, or confinement the teacher will be able to propose alternative online activities. Personalized attention will be given by appointment by e-mail. Also through the remote campus, moovi, or virtual office 1354.

Students will be required to do the classroom expositions, read the required reading stories and watch the movie that will be recommended at the beginning of the course and included in the bibliography. The material will be made available on the MOOVI platform and in the library.  The topics covered in the compulsory reading stories will be used in the oral exam. 

The stories and film are the following:

Newman, Lesléa (2015). Heather has two mommies; 

Donaldson, Julia (2017). The detective dog. 

Bleckner, Jeff (2011). Beyond the blackboard.

The assessment of the subject will be continuous. Compulsory tasks and expositions must be completed on the corresponding dates. Failure to comply with these requirements will result in the cancellation of this type of evaluation. 

 In the same way, THE USE OF AUTOMATIC TRANSLATORS FOR THE COMPLETION OF THE WORK WILL RESULT IN THE IMMEDIATE EXCLUSION OF THE CONTINUOUS EVALUATION AND OF ALL THE OTHER EXAMS OF THE ACADEMIC COURSE. 

All students, whether they attend class or not, have the right to be evaluated by means of an exam. Students who decide not to follow the continuous evaluation must make the decision during the month of September and communicate it to the teacher. Instead, they may take the exam on the dates proposed by the Faculty (www.fcced.webs.uvigo.es), which will consist of two parts: written part with four tasks  (75%) and oral part (25%).  The written test will focus on point 4 of the contents, where the contents of the other points of the subject must be applied and developed. The oral test will consist of a 10 minutes-conversation with the teacher on didactic aspects of the compulsory tales and film. 

In case of confinement/lockdown, the exam will consist of four oral tests worth 25 points each. One of the tests will be a 10 minutes-talk about  the stories and the film. The other 3 tests will be communicated to the student during the exam. Students will be given time to prepare  them. Then they will be given 10 minutes to present each one orally via remote campus. The oral exam may be moved to another date depending on the passing of the theory exam. 

Students will be able to take an exam on the dates proposed by the center for the second call in July (www.fcced.webs.uvigo.es), which will consist of two parts: written part with four tasks (75%) and oral part (25%).  The written test will focus on point 4 of the contents, where the contents of the other points of the subject must be applied and developed. The oral test will consist of a 10 minutes-conversation with the teacher about didactic aspects of the stories (recommended in the previous section and in the bibliography) and the opinion about the film. The date for the exam will be available on the faculty webpage in the academic organization section (www.fcced.webs.uvigo.es). The oral exam may be held at a later date.

In case of confinement, the exam will consist of four oral tests worth 25 points each. One of the tests will be the talk about the stories and the film. The other 3 tests will be communicated to the student during the exam. The student will be given time to prepare them and then will have 10 minutes to present each one orally via remote campus.
