Assessment methods
Students have to pass 2 short tests (70%) focused on the vocabulary and grammar covered during the term and only then can they sit the final oral exam proving their overall grammar and vocabulary knowledge (70%) at the end of the term. Students have to prepare for lessons throughout the whole term and do homework for each lesson, which is the base for their active participation in the seminars. Most of the work is based on students' self-study.
