Teaching Methodologies
- Dynamic sessions with structural and practical components, combining teacher guidance with practical tasks performed by students based on contents covered;
– Use of the online platform, where the material resources used during the sessions will be available and other additional documents that help students better prepare for use of english in real life contexts.
The evaluation will tend to be continuous in nature, taking into account the quality of student participation in the programmed activities, particularly in the working sessions during the classes, in addition to the commitment to additional activities as well as progress evaluated over the course and in two evaluation tests.
Evaluation is based on:
– Participation and attendance (10%)
– Individual work (30%)
– Group work (60%)
