Teaching Methods
According to the descriptors established for the level C2 in the CEFR, the methodology adopted will focus on the acquisition and development of oral and written skills (production, reception and interaction), grammar practice and vocabulary enhancement: direct exposure to authentic use of language (through videos, written texts - newspapers, magazines, etc. - Internet, CD-ROM, among others); direct participation in communicative interaction;
presentations, explanations, exercises/exploitation activities; translation (native language/foreign language/native language); individual, pair and group working; contribution to formal and informal discussions; guided study; autodidactically, by self-study.
Students may choose between two modes of assessment:
(1) Continuous assessment: a. Written quiz (35%); b. Oral quiz (25%); c. Assignments, throughout the semester, in and
at home (40%);
(2) Exam: a. Written exam (60%); b. Oral exam (40%).
