Assessment methods
2) a written part (B) for assessing linguistic competence (B2) consisting of:
- a grammar multiple choice and gap-filling cloze and a dictation. Duration: 30 minutes.
- a writing activity. Duration: 45 minutes.
3) an oral part (C) for assessing communicative competence (B2 level): an interactive conversation involving expositive/argumentative discourse. Duration: 15 minutes.
How final average final mark is calculated:
- Part A: 60% of the final mark.
- Parts B+C: 40% of the final mark. This 40% is a weighted arithmetic mean: grammar test+dictation (40%), writing activity (30%) oral part (30%).
mark). The oral part consists of an interactive conversation on everyday life topics. Duration: 15 minutes.
In order to get an overall pass in Lingua Spagnola 1 (LT0051) or Lingua Ispanoamericana 1 (LT005Q) courses, students are required to get a pass on all three parts (A, B, C). Written parts (A, B) are scheduled on the same day. Oral part (C) will take place at a later date. Passing the written part A allows the student to maintain this partial mark for the entire academic year. Failure in the written part A invalidates the written test B and the student will be required to repeat both the written tests in the next exam session. Passing the written part B allows the student to access oral part (C). Both parts B and C must be taken on the same exam session.
Students holding a DELE certificate of B1 level (or higher) are not required to take the written part (B) and oral part on linguistic competence, on the conditions that i) the date of the exam is at the latest two years prior to the date in which the certificate was obtained ii) they provide the lecturer with a paper or electronic copy (both sides) of the certificate. No other certificates shall be accepted.
