This subject, English I, is part of Module II of the Degree study plan and consists of 18 ECTS Credits (distributed among the subjects English I, II and III) of Basic Training (FB). This module has been designed so that students acquire basic skills in English, in such a way that it serves as an instrument that provides them with an added capacity to access information on the rest of the subjects that make up this degree by facilitating, not only the consultation of bibliographic directories and electronic resources of all kinds, but also the participation in mobility programs, both Erasmus and Leonardo, whatever their destination within the agreements established by the UCLM. With the integration of this Module II, Article 4.3 of the Agreement of the Commission for the Reform of Degrees and Study Plans of the UCLM is fulfilled, since the intensification in a foreign language (English) will allow the student to acquire sufficient skills in oral expression and written, as well as in the specific language of the humanistic field, even giving them the possibility of preparing and defending their Final Degree Project in this language and of carrying out external practices (optional) in the European context.

Continuous assessment:Students must be assessed on the five English language skills (listening, speaking, interacting, writing and reading), as well as their theoretical and practical knowledge of cultural history, art, culture, and literature in the English language.
Any question scored with less than two points will mean that the exam will automatically be graded as "failed".
In no case is the possibility of regulated blended teaching and evaluation considered as such. -
Non-continuous evaluation:Those students who have problems or doubts about their participation in the continuous assessment process should contact the head teacher of the subject.
If a student were caught cheating or plagiarizing, she would get a final grade of 'Fail 0'.
