Evaluation methods
The exam will cover all the material discussed during the course, and the syllabus serves only as a guide (hence the importance of attending the course).
The written exam for Q1 will take place outside of the regular session during the week starting Monday, 15th December 2025. It will cover the material from the first semester and will test three skills: listening comprehension, reading comprehension, and writing.
Students who do not achieve at least half the marks in December must retake this part in May, on the same day as the Q2 exam.
The written exam for Q2 (and Q1 for those who need to retake it) will take place outside of the regular session during the week starting Monday, 4th May 2026. The Q2 exam will cover the material for the whole year and will assess four skills: speaking, listening comprehension, reading comprehension, and writing.
At the end of the year, students will receive a grade for the entire year.
The final grading breakdown is 40% for Q1 and 60% for Q2.
If a student does not achieve an average of 10/20 in June, they will retake the semester(s) in August for which they did not achieve a 10/20. Scores of 10/20 or higher will be retained. Therefore, the student will not be allowed to retake a semester in which they achieved a score of 10/20 or higher.
