The contents will be presented according to a “multi-syllabus” system that integrates grammar, lexicon, functions, communication and the development of reading and speaking abilities.


Evaluation method

Evaluation: 2 final tests (50%), 1 mid-term test + individual works (40%), active participation in the classroom (10%).
