      • Writing (20%)
      • Use of English (20%)
      • Listening (20%)
      • Speaking (20%)
    • The final grade is made up of the scores of exams (Reading, Use of English, & Listening) and continuous assessment (Writing & Speaking):
      • There will be two Reading and Listening tests during the course: the first after File 2 and the second after File 4. 
      • As for Use of English, there will be just one test at the end of File 5.
      • Writing and Speaking will be assessed by means of projects.
    • Passing grade: 8.0 together with 80% of attendance (= 28 live sessions; the maximum number of absences permitted is 6 live sessions).
      • But 5 consecutive absences (live sessions) cause dropping out.

    CLASS RULES
      • You must attend the live sessions with your Student's Book.
      • Punctuality and use of English in class is really important. Avoid speaking or interacting in Spanish.
      • If you are late and there's already an activity in progress, you must wait for it to finish and take part in the next one.
      • Please avoid instant messaging during our class or taking another lesson at the same time.

    OTHER ASPECTS
    • A monolingual dictionary is recommended in class and for homework. (Avoid the use of translators.)
    • The use of the Workbook will be an individual task. Be ready for its checking after each File.
