PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVE CA2 Writing & Communicative Activity

The Communicative Activity is another moment for your oral performance to be assessed. You will have the opportunity to discuss and talk about themes and topics which

have been studied and analysed throughout the course. During this activity you will be evaluated on such features as register, appropriacy, pronunciation, interaction,

grammatical resources and discourse management.

The estimated time for this oral assessment is 40 minutes. It is worth 10 marks and contributes to your final Oral Production mark.

PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVE CA2 (Final Test)

The format of this assessment is similar to the CA1 (Midterm Test), which you took in the middle of the course. However, in this Final Test there is one more part which focuses

on written production, so you will be required to write a text, in the appropriate style with no reference to dictionaries or other materials, in Lesson 31. The choices for the

written production are based on the topics and language structures practised during the course through the Communicative Writing tasks.

The estimated time for this Final Test is 100 minutes and it is divided in four parts:

Listening = 10 marksReading = 10 marks

Language in use (grammar and vocabulary) = 10 marks

Communicative writing = 10 marks Total = 40 marks*

*In the Progress Report (Relatrio de Aproveitamento) the total of 40 marks is converted to 30 marks
