Modalità di verifica e valutazione dell'apprendimento

Assessment methods

Continuous assessment during the workshop will be followed by a final formative test to give students an idea of their individual level and possible problems to work on. This test will count as final exam, and all the students who pass it and who have satisfactory «active presence» will be IDONEI they will carry on with the second year workshop in the following academic year. At the end of the second year workshop there will be a comprehensive language exam.

In case of a fail, exams can be taken in consecutive regular appelli.

This regular exam will consist of a B1 language test which includes: Lexical exercises (naming objects, describing simple pictures, filling in the gaps in a text, finding the right words to describe a room, school, house, natural landscape, outdoor scene, etc., all at B1 level); Grammar exercises (sentence completion, grammatical choice, verb tenses, irregular verbs, pronouns, comparatives and superlatives, conditionals, etc., all at B1 level with a few B1+ questions); a Reading exercise (a short text with T/F/Not said questions, word definitions, simple synonym identification, title or sentence insertion, etc.); a Writing on familiar topics (describing people, common situations, simple school activities, etc., at least 100 words). The exam lasts 60 minutes.

There is no session skipping or salto di appello.
Marks will be sent via the University email to each student, and details will be quoted for each part of the test. Students do not have to accept the ID result, registering (verbalizzazione) will be done by default.

In case of problems with the enrolment process students MUST CONTACT THE UFFICIO DIDATTICO BEFORE THE ENROLMENT DEADLINE. Once the enrolment lists are closed, no student can be added.
