Exam (30%, duration: 1 hour and 30 minutes) in the summer exam period. Oral examination (30%) in the ST. Continuous assessment (40%) in the MT and LT. Language courses map to the Common European Framework for Language Learning.? This framework defines linguistic proficiency in the four language skills (reading, writing, speaking and listening) at different levels.? To pass this course, students are therefore required to achieve a pass mark in each element of the assessment (continuous assessment, oral and written exams), as these test all four skills.
