Teaching methods

The course is given face-to-face and in small groups of up to 30 students. It is given in the form of interactive seminars in Spanish and is structured around the units in the course book, which focuses on the world of work. Attendance is compulsory. Opportunities to work on oral or written production are provided in each course. The objectives and activities are designed in accordance with the philosophy of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. Language communication is worked on taking into account linguistic (lexicon, syntax, phonology), sociolinguistic (markers of social relations, rules of politeness, etc.) and pragmatic (organisation, adaptation, structure of discourse) skills necessary for the target tasks. The course is not limited to considerations of linguistic knowledge.

Evaluations

The course will be assessed according to the following weighting: A) Continuous assessment (30%) In each term, a grammar/vocabulary test is given on the material of the units seen. B) Written exam (January session; 20%) In January, students will be assessed on the first term's material by means of a written exam, which covers the different skills worked on in class: listening and reading comprehension, and written expression. C) Final exam (June session; 50%) In June, students will have to take an oral and a written exam. 1) The oral exam (25%) will consist of (1) a conversation in pairs on topics covered in the different units of the Socios 1 textbook and (2) a conversation with the teacher on the portfolio produced during the course. The student who does not hand in a portfolio cannot present the oral exam. 2) The written exam (25%) will focus on vocabulary, grammar and the different skills worked on during the year. To validate the course, the student must have passed the different parts of the assessment (i.e. a mark of 10/20 or higher for each part of the assessment). If any of the marks are less than 10/20, the student will repeat the failed part(s) in the second session (August). For the August session, there will no longer be a distinction between the January and June subject. Regardless of the part to be retaken, the subject matter of the written examination will be that of the whole year. The course is given in the language taught and the use of French is limited. Only the grammar lessons will be given in both languages for a better integration of the nuances of each language. Due to rapid progress, only regular and active attendance will enable the student to achieve the course objectives. Therefore, absences are strongly discouraged.
