Assessment

The standard assessments for this course are:

■ Written/Moodle test (50 minutes) 80% 

■ Oral exam (10 minutes) - 20% 

If required, for instance where a disability prevents a student from undertaking a specific method of assessment, the following alternatives are available:

■ Invigilated online oral examination as alternative to Oral exam

■ There is no alternative to the Written, but extensions to the deadlines can be offered as reasonable adjustment (students should follow the usual process for extensions). 

Further reasonable adjustments may be provided where necessary. Students are encouraged to consult with the course convenor.

Are reassessment opportunities available for all summative assessments? No

It is the default expectation that all courses will offer opportunities for reassessment or deferred assessment. Where it is not possible to offer this in some assessment components, the grade achieved at the first attempt will be counted towards the final course grade, and any exceptions for this course are described below.

[No exceptions]

Course Aims

This course aims to:

■ further consolidate students' existing knowledge of the target language already acquired at level 1;

■ ensure students can understand, read, write and speak the target language at intermediate level, which is broadly equivalent to B2 within the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages;

■ prepare students to use the target language with ease in everyday situations and professional environments.

Intended Learning Outcomes of Course

By the end of this course students will be able to:

■ read, comprehend, analyse and translate intermediate-level texts of a variety of styles in the target language;

■ speak with confidence and present ideas effectively in the target language on a range of topics reflecting work done on the course, using appropriate register, intonation, structures and idioms;

■ respond with confidence to questions posed both orally and in writing, using the main and some advanced grammatical structures of the target language accurately and appropriately;

■ produce texts written in the target language that show an active command of vocabulary, grammar and idiom at an intermediate level reflecting the work contained in the course materials.
