Examination Methods
Pre-requisites:
To sit the exam, students need to have already passed:
• English Language 1
• English C1 computer-based test
• English Literature 1
The final exam will be written and it will focus on the topics covered during the course, that is, lesson slides (downloadable on the Moodle platform) and the bibliographic references provided.
The exam will consist of a written test including a number of questions (usually 8-10), for a total of 30 marks, focusing on the topics covered during the course. There may be three types of questions: multiple choice questions and open-ended questions on the theoretical notions, or textual analysis questions that ask student to apply their knowledge to linguistic data. Students may, for instance, be asked to identify speech acts, implicatures, lack of observation of maxims, or they may be asked to analyze a brief passage applying the analysis strategies they have studied.
The final grade of the exam will be the average of the grade of the written exam and the grade obtained in the CLA computer test. The latter will be converted into 30ths according to the CLA conversion table. Students who have obtained external language certificates should obtain and equivalence certificate from the CLA before the date of the exam.
