Teaching Methods

Through the teaching of this uc, different themes of language, literature and culture are integrated, in a relationship with other languages and semiotic systems, whose privileged spaces are the school and the school library. This integration is promoted by participatory and active approaches, promoted by the teaching team, by the promotion of activities, by invited experts and by the study visits provided to students. In all sessions, students are requested to participate in the activities developed, considering them as participants in the knowledge produced. We therefore foresee brief theoretical expositions, supported by dialogue and student contributions; reading of documents and texts, followed by discussion, guided by reading lines; individual and/or group works, based on the reaction to guest lectures or study visits; sharing reading and writing experiences. The recommended teaching and learning methodologies seek to meet and be aligned with the course's pedagogical model.

Assessment

The assessment in this uc naturally takes into account the evaluation regime of the University of Évora, which is divided into a continuous evaluation regime and a final evaluation regime.
In the continuous assessment regime, one of the final products for evaluation is the construction of a portfolio, where students will gather the work carried out and record their reflections on some interventions, either by teachers, invited experts or study visits. The other final product consists of a critical reflection on a scientific paper related to the contents of this uc.
Portfolio - 40%
Reflection on the paper – 50%
Attendance and participation - 10%
(Final Classification= (40+50+10)/100

In the final assessment regime, students will take a written test.
Written test - 100%
