* Interactive course: communicative and interactive approach.

It is important to highlight that this course is based on continuous assessment throughout the quarter: class participation is of upmost importance. The home assignments required by the teacher must be done thoroughly. They are part of the final evaluation. There is no exam in June. The final grade is based on different oral and written tests, as well as continuous assessment organised during the quarter.
- Oral component: 10 points
It is important to notice that the students need to be active during the interactive courses. Participation, knowledge of the vocabulary, mastery of the oral exercises, etc., are assessed during the quarter.
The oral presentation (groups of 3-4 students) is an important part of the oral evaluation (/3), as well as the oral exam (/3) which takes place in May (off session). It includes questions on vocabulary and the content of the 4 topics of the presentations and the topics seen in class (The language of presentations, How to use visuals, Describing graphs & trends, Speed Networking).

- Written component: 10 points
Vocabulary, advanced grammar (connectives), listening comprehension and writing (key words and specific vocabulary to the topic + writing an essay on one the 4 topics of the presentations.)

Evaluation is based on 5 weekly tests (throughout the quarter, /5) and based on the written exam which takes place in May (/5) (exam off session).
By the end of the quarter, the students receive a grade for the whole quarter, based on the aforementioned distribution. The course is passed with a grade of 10/20 or higher for the full year.

Catch-up exam in September: same distribution of points, but continuous assessment is not taken into account. The student must present one of the topics of the course (individually) for 10 minutes during the oral exam and also answer questions on the course content. There is also a written exam.
