Examination of expected learning outcomes is done through a structured examination, consisting of a written test and an oral exam.
In order to verify the achievement of the linguistic competence (level B1 of the CEFR), the written test is composed of two parts whose average results are evaluated on a 30/30 basis:
1) dictation of about 10 lines (30 points)
2) grammatical test (30 points) - duration: 60 minutes.
The oral test consists of two parts to be held in Portuguese: the first, verifying the achievement of oral communication competence (level B1 of the CEFR), consists of a conversational interaction (duration: about 15 minutes); the second is to verify the achievement of metalinguistic competence on the contents of the teaching module (duration: 15-20 minutes).
The two parts of the oral examination are evaluated together, resulting in a 30/30 basis evaluation that will be averaged with the grade obtained in the written test, thus resulting in a total examination grade.
The written test is preliminary to the oral test, which should be done in a single sitting and within the same exam session in which the written test is passed.

written and oral

The instructor is responsible for ensuring the authenticity and originality of all examinations and coursework. In cases of suspected academic misconduct, an additional on-site assessment may be required during the exams, which may differ from the standard format.

The written test is graded according to the following criteria:
- Dictation: up to 30 points (points from 18 to 30 correspond proportionally to an error rate of between 0% and 20% of the total number of words);
- Test: up to 30 points awarded in proportion to the number of correct answers in the series of grammar exercises.
The oral examination is graded according to the following criteria:
- Knowledge of the topics (up to 12 points);
- Ability to critically analyse topics and autonomy of judgement (up to 3 points);
- Clarity of expression and appropriate use of language (up to 12 points);
- Mastery of specialist terminology (up to 3 points),
The marks for the written and oral tests are averaged. If the average is 30/30, honours may be awarded for excellent performance in all areas considered.
