2. Pre-Requisites

3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession
English teaching and learning is essential for trainee teachers’ training due to the importance given to the foreign language subject in Primary Education and the emergence of new legislation concerning plurilingualism. In this sense, the course unit intends to delve into the practice of the five communicative skills of the English language to achieve the communicative competence in English at a B1 level, which is required for obtaining a Degree. Likewise, it intends to show methodological aspects and didactic implementations of the English language in Primary classrooms and teach the basic teaching principles for their future career as Primary teachers. The course unit English Language and English Language Teaching II is included in the Module 1.2.3.2 Training in teaching and specific area requirements (Foreign Language Teaching-Learning) of the Degree in Primary Education.

8. Evaluation criteria and Grading System
| Evaluation System | Continuous assessment | Non-continuous evaluation * | Description |
| 100.00% | 100.00% | See the description of the specific evaluation tools and percentages below. | |
| Total: | 100.00% | 100.00% |
According to art. 4 of the UCLM Student Evaluation Regulations, it must be provided to students who cannot regularly attend face-to-face training activities the passing of the subject, having the right (art. 12.2) to be globally graded, in 2 annual calls per subject , an ordinary and an extraordinary one (evaluating 100% of the competences).
Evaluation criteria for the final exam:
-
Continuous assessment:BILINGUAL GROUP
Progress tests 15% Assessable progress tests along the year. They will be specified by the teacher. These marks will be added once the students have passed both the written and oral exams. They will not be repeated under any circumstances, since this part can be retaken through the final exam.
Practices 10% Simulations and didactic implementations in real classrooms, which might include students' participation in eTwinning projects or its platform, interactive groups, etc.
Portfolio 15% Projects (including those that might be done with other course units of the biligual programme), tasks and activity and curricular design.
Final test 60% The final exam will consist of: I. a written exam, including Reading comprehension, Writing, Use of English (grammar and vocabulary) and Listening (which might include a dictation); and II. an oral exam, including both speaking production and speaking interaction.
1. To pass the course unit, it will be necessary to pass both the written and oral parts, or at least have a 4 out of 10 in one part but an average of 5 or more in total, to pass the course unit. In order to do the oral exam, it is necessary to have at least a 4 out of 10 in the written exam. Likewise, students must prove that they have acquired didactic knowledge to pass the course unit either through progress tests or didactic presentations and projects.
2. Those students who regularly attend classes will have the opportunity to pass the oral exam in class. If they do not, they will have to do this part in the final exam of the corresponding examination session.
3. If students pass one part but fail another, the mark can be considered within the same academic year. However, no marks will be considered from different academic years.
4. If a student fails the written exam, the mark of that examination session will be the one obtained in that exam. However, if they pass the written exam but fail the oral exam, the mark will be 4 (out of 10) by default. If they fail the teaching section, the final mark will be 3 (out of 10) by default.
5. Those students who do not attend classes regularly and do not do the progress tests will do the final exam (75%, both written and oral exams) and they will also have to do the practices and portfolio. Students have to pass both the written and oral exams to pass the course unit.
6. If any student is caught cheating or breaking the rules of any of the tests or projects, their mark will be 0.
7. For every mistake of those included in the 'List of mistakes to avoid' (see Moodle), the student will miss 0.25 marks in the corresponding activity/test/presentation/exam up to a maximum of 3 marks (12 mistakes). If the mistake is repeated, the repetition(s) will be also penalized.
**If applicable, any modifications or adaptations needed in the teaching guides as a result of a change in the teaching or evaluation model derived from the evolution of the pandemic will be documented in a later addendum. -
Non-continuous evaluation:The same criteria for the continuous assessment apply.
Specifications for the resit/retake exam:
The same criteria of the ordinary examination session apply.
Specifications for the second resit / retake exam:
