General Rules

Performance assessment methods

A hallgatók beszédprodukcióit közösen értékeljük különböző módokon (egyéni tanári értékelés, társas és csoportos értékelés, szóban és írásban egyaránt). A félév során a házi feladatokat (hangfelvétel, vázlatok, szövegjelölések stb.) kell elkészíteni a megadott határidőre. A kurzus során jellemzően fejlesztő értékelési technikákat alkalmazunk, a hallgatók önértékelése folyamatos.
