Examination Methods
Pre-requisite: B2 language certificate (Council of Europe). This can be obtained from the Language Centre (CLA) or from a number of certified language institutes (see student guide). Students must have obtained the certificate and bring it on the day of the exam.
The exam, which will last 60 minutes, will include theoretical questions (multiple choice or open-ended questions) and practical exercises (e.g. phonemic transcription) on the topics covered in class.
Evaluation: the final mark (/out of 30)is a combination of the written exam (50%) and the mark of the B2 language certificate (50%), converted into /30 according to the current conversion table.
Final note: the contents of the exam are the same for attending and non-attending students.
