If they do not, they will receive an X. Note that they should not have 0 (zero) points in any of the tasks. Final oral exam in the exam period (30 points): 1) Reflection on the language-learning progress 2) Brief presentation of a special needs issue you are interested in. 3) Small-group discussion of a special needs issue.
