TEACHING METHODOLOGIES (INCLUDING EVALUATION) According to the Assessment Regulation ESTH (July 2008), all curricula units of the courses, except those that have their own regulations, are evaluated. This may take the form of continuous and final assessment. At all-time points, students are required to enroll in two business days prior to the relevant exam. On the day of test performance, the students cannot enter the room, fifteen minutes after its start, and cannot leave for the first thirty minutes. Página 3

4 Periodic evaluation. Periodic assessment is done punctually during each semester for classifying predetermined times. This review is for all students including student workers. The classification of periodic evaluation results from the application of the following criteria: 1- Classification of the written test: 70% 2- Classification weighted of the European Language Portfolio, oral participation in class and tutorials: 30%. Considered to have passed the course students who obtain a score equal to or greater than ten (10) in the written exam and Portfolio. Failure to comply with only one of these rules leads to the exclusion of the student's regular assessment through automatically to the final evaluation. Final evaluation: (Normal season for all students) At the end of each semester, there is a final evaluation for each course. The final assessment is a moment of individual assessment made by attending an exam. The final assessment test is written, and may have, in the specific case of some courses, also a technical component or laboratory. The classification of the final evaluation results from the application of the following criteria: - 70% of the written test and 30% European Language Portfolio. Considered to have passed the course students who obtain a score equal to or greater than ten (10) in the written exam and Portfolio. Final standings in each course is expressed from 0 (zero) to 20 (twenty) values, rounded to the nearest unit. Failure to comply with only one of these rules leads to the exclusion of the student's regular assessment through automatically to the resource exam. Resource Exam: Written test: 100% 6. COHERENCE BETWEEN TEACHING METHODOLOGIES AND OBJECTIVES This course aims to give the student an overview of the Spanish language and aims to be the first contact with it. The teaching methodologies are consistent with the goals of UC because they address issues of theoretical and conceptual seeking to Página 4

5 introduce students in this first approach to a foreign language, focusing on student training activity for their involvement in practical issues such as readings and interpretations of texts as well as in the comparison of the possible problems related to the contextual realities of tourism and articulating with the applied research developed in a work group. Applies to the use of the European Language Portfolio (ELP) tool language learning adopted and recommended by both, the Council of Europe and the European Centre for Modern Languages and who sits on the acquisition of language and intercultural skills. The Portfolio is used to make the learning process more transparent to the users themselves, helping them to develop their capacity for reflection and self-assessment, fostering accountability in their learning. Here, again, the role of Portfolio coincides with the interest expressed by the Council of Europe to develop the autonomy of learners and promote learning throughout life.
