Teaching, Attendance, Course Books and Assessment

Teaching

Frontal lessons with group work.

Attendance

While attendance is not compulsory it is strongly recommended, both for students with a minimal level of English and for students with a higher level, who can use this opportunity to revise, interact with native speaker teachers and and learn specific vocabulary for Education Science.

Course books

The recommended grammar book is Essential Grammar in Use by Raymond Murphy.  Other texts, articles and materials used in class will be available on blended.uniurb.it

Assessment

Written and oral exam.

The student will only be admitted to the oral exam on passing the written exam.  The written exam is valid for the following two exam sessions.  For example if the student sits and passes the written exam in January 2020, he/she may take the oral exam either in that same exam session (Jan/ Feb 2020), in the summer exam session (May/June 2020) or in the autumn exam session (Aug/ Sept 2020).  Should the student fail these attempts, he/she must repeat the written exam in January 2021. Should the student take and pass the written exam, for example, in August, this exam will remain valid until July of the following year.
