9.1)Academic integrity is a responsibility of all university faculty and students. Faculty
members promote academic integrity in multiple ways including instruction on the
components ofacademic honesty, as well as abiding by university policy on penalties for
cheating and plagiarism. Definition of Academic DishonestyAcademic dishonesty includes
both cheating and plagiarism. Cheating includes but is not limited to (1) using or attempting
to use unauthorized materials to aid in achieving a better grade on a component of a class; (2)
the falsification or invention of any information, including citations, on an assigned exercise;
and/or (3) helping or attempting to help another in an act of cheating or plagiarism.Plagiarism
is presenting the words or ideas of another person as if they were your own. Examples of
plagiarism are (1) submitting an assignment as if it were one's own work when, in fact, it is at
least partly the work of another; (2) submitting a work that has been purchased or otherwise
obtained from an Internet source or another source; and (3) incorporating the words or ideas
of an author into one's paper without giving the author due credit. Please read the complete
policy at http://www.sfasu.edu/policies/academic_integrity.asp
Withheld Grades Semester Grades Policy (A-54)
Ordinarily, at the discretion of the instructor of record and with the approval of the academic
chair/director, a grade of WH will be assigned only if the student cannot complete the course
work because of unavoidable circumstances. Students must complete the work within one
calendar year from the end of the semester in which they receive a WH, or the grade
automatically becomes an F. If students register for the same course in future terms the WH
will automatically become an F and will be counted as a repeated course for the purpose of
computing the grade point average.

Level
Intermediate (groups)
Pre-lesson
This activity is suitable for any banking staff who would like to build confidence in
describing
their banks in English. This provides a useful lexical foundation for learning how to do
presentations, meetings or negotiations as the participants progress to the Upper Intermediate
level.
Procedure
• Find out from the learners how often they make presentations or go to meetings in
their own language.
• Brainstorm about what points should be covered in a basic bank description. Make a list or
web their answers on a flipchart or whiteboard.
• Distribute the worksheet. Compare their brainstorm ideas with the headings on the
sheet.
• Review the headings and the language with the students. Ask the students to help
each other with any new word or phrase. Monitor and help them directly if needed.
• Write an example on the board for each section. Ask the students if they know of
another way to express your example. BCF is a world wide bank. BCF is an
international bank.
• Wrap-up by learners sharing one example piece of information about their bank to the
whole class.
• Depending on the time frame of the lesson, students can give a 1-2 minute minipresentation
about their bank description. Both you and the students can give
language feedback.
Tips
• Download 2-3 examples of bank profiles for yourself from the Web. Review typical
language for basic bank description. Add other relevant words or phrases to the
worksheet headings.
• With banking services let the students add specific areas such as loans, credit cards,
cash machine/point, etc. for either company or personal banking. Help them formulate
these descriptions.
• Suggest to the learners to read websites, brochures, etc. from other banks to strengthen
their English for company description.
