The mastery of the linguistic and
communicative competences of this subject will be assessed by means of several
partial tests for each of the skills specified in this teaching guide. The
specific dates for each test will be announced by the teachers in the classroom
well in advance.

The final grade for the subject will be
calculated by taking into account all the skills that have been worked on
throughout the term. The distribution of these skills is indicated in the
previous section and is detailed below:

Use of English & Vocabulary: 40%.

Listening: 30% 

Speaking: 30%

The first edition of the reports
incorporates two distinct assessment systems: continuous and single. The
default mode will be continuous assessment, unless the student explicitly
indicates a preference for the single assessment system. If students opt for
the single assessment system, they must notify their teacher by the end of the
third instructional week.

Participation in one of the assessment
systems precludes participation in the other. The completion of one or more
partial tests implies the acceptance of the continuous assessment system by the
students. Conversely, absence from one or more partial tests implies that the
subject will be followed by single assessment. Students assessed by the
continuous assessment system will not be permitted to sit the official single
assessment exam in the initial edition of the reports. The mark obtained in the
first edition of the reports will be calculated based on the marks achieved in
the test(s) taken. It should be noted that the official single assessment exam
in the first edition of the minutes is not to be considered as a make-up exam
to pass the parts failed in the continuous assessment.

FIRST EDITION OF REPORTS

CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT

In order to be assessed by the continuous
assessment system, it is essential that the student participates in all the
assessment tests that take place during the four-month period, as well as
handing in the activities on the dates indicated.

The assessment tests will take place during
class time, unless previously agreed with the subject teachers. The specific
dates will be announced in class at the beginning of the term or sufficiently
in advance for their preparation.

In order to pass the subject as a whole, a
minimum mark of 5 points as an overall mark (out of 10) will be required, 5
points being the minimum mark required in each of the partial tests:

Use of English & Vocabulary: 40%

Listening: 30% 

Speaking (presentation): 30%

That is to say: each of the skills of the
subject must be passed with a 5, and failure in one of the skills implies an
overall failure in the subject in this edition of the minutes. The
aforementioned conditions also apply to the second edition of the minutes,
regardless of the evaluation system.

Students will be permitted to take the exam
in the second edition of the minutes only for the failed part(s). If the
student fails this second opportunity, they will have to take all the skills in
subsequent years, and no partial marks will be kept from one year to the next.

SINGLE ASSESSMENT

The single assessment will take place on
the date officially approved by the FFT Board. It is the student's
responsibility to check the dates on the Faculty's website. The final
qualification of students who take advantage of this single assessment system
will be calculated on the basis of the qualifications obtained on this official
date. The test will consist of the parts necessary to assess all the skills
taught during the four-month period, parallel to the continuous assessment
system, unless otherwise indicated by the teaching staff. The value of each of
the skills in the qualification will be equal to that in the continuous
assessment:

Use of English & Vocabulary: 40%

Listening: 30% 

Speaking (oral exam): 30%

In order to pass the subject, a minimum
mark of 5 points as an overall mark will be required, 5 points being the
minimum mark required in each of the skills assessed. In other words, it is
necessary to pass each of the skills of the subject with a 5, and failure in
one of the skills implies an overall failure in the subject in this edition of
the minutes.

Students will be permitted to take the
exams in the second edition of the minutes only for the failed part(s). If the
student does not pass at this second opportunity, they will have to take the
exam for all the skills in the following academic year: no partial marks will
be kept for the different skills from one academic year to the next.

SECOND EDITION OF THE REPORTS

The examination in the period of the second
edition of the reports, regardless of the modality chosen in the first edition
of the reports, will take place on the official date approved by the FFT Board.
It is the student's responsibility to check the dates on the Faculty's website.
Students who have to make up the oral presentation will agree on the time of an
oral exam with the teachers of the subject.

The final grade of students who take
advantage of this single assessment system will be calculated on the basis of
the qualifications obtained on this official date. The test will consist of the
parts necessary to assess all the skills taught during the four-month period.
The value of each of the skills in the qualification will be equal to the
continuous assessment.

Use of English & Vocabulary: 40%.

Listening: 30% 

Speaking (oral exam): 30%

In order to pass the subject, a minimum
mark of 5 points as an overall mark will be required, 5 points being the
minimum mark required in each of the skills assessed. That is to say: it is
necessary to pass each of the skills of the subject with a 5, and failure in
one of the skills implies an overall failure in the subject in this edition of
the minutes.

Students will be able to take the exams in
the second edition of the minutes only for the failed part(s). If the student fails
this second opportunity, they will have to take all the skills in subsequent
years, and no partial marks will be kept from one year to the next.

Remarks

The assessment will take into account not
only the relevance and quality of the content of the answers but also their
linguistic and stylistic correctness. Otherwise, the evaluation test may result
in a fail.

Any instance of plagiarism, whether total
or partial, in any form of academic work or activity will result in an
automatic failure for the subject in question, regardless of the tests already
taken and/or passed. A claim of ignorance regarding the definition of
plagiarism will not exempt students from their responsibility in this regard.

It is the responsibility of the student to
regularly check their email account, to consult materials and news via the
e-learning platform, and to be aware of the dates on which the assessment tests
take place. The dates of single assessments are announced on the FFT website.
The dates of all continuous assessments are announced in class well in advance,
with the exception of spontaneous tests. It is not obligatory for the teaching
staff to communicate assessment dates via the e-learning platform.

In the event that,
for reasons related to health, it is not possible to administer the examination
in person, the affected assessment test(s) may be conducted via the e-learning
platform and/or Campus Remoto.
