During the final written (30% of the final assessment - pass mark 70%) and oral (30% of the final assessment - pass mark 70%) exam they prove their overall grammar and vocabulary knowledge. 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.
