APPROACHES TO LANGUAGE IN THE CLASSROOM CONTEXT
GENERAL INFORMATION:
The subject assignment consists of doing three short exercises. To do so, keep the activities statements and answer just below them. This assignment must be done in groups of two and has to fulfil the following conditions:
Length: between 6 and 8 pages (without including cover, index or appendices –if there are any-).
Type of font: Arial or Times New Roman.
Size: 11.
Line height: 1.5.
Alignment: Justified.
If for some reason you cannot do the assignment in groups, you will have to do it individually (notice that individual assignments will be penalized. The maximum score a student can get is 8/ 10). The individual assignment must have a length between 6 and 8 pages approximately (without including cover, index or appendix –if there is any).
The assignment has to be done in this Word document. In order to make the correction easier, please, do not write the answers in bolds, and it will be easier to distinguish between them and the activities statements. On the other hand, the assignment has to fulfil the rules of presentation and edition, as for quotes and bibliographical references which are detailed in the Study Guide.
Also, it has to be submitted following the procedure specified in the Study Guide. Sending it to the tutor’s e-mail is not permitted. Both members of the group have to send the assignment.
In addition to this, it is very important to read the assessment criteria, which can be found in the Study Guide.
The assignment mark is 70% of the final mark.
