Teaching and Learning Methods - The English Language course includes theoretical classes that address grammatical rules, discursive structures and the linguistic
and cultural universe of English. Practical classes complement theory and include the application of theoretical knowledge acquired in real situations of oral and
written communication.

Evaluation/Assessment Methods - In this course, students will be evaluated based on the academic regulations in use. Thus, it is expected that 2 written tests will
be carried out to assess contact hours. The hours of independent study will be evaluated based on a written assignment and an oral presentation. At the end of the
Semester, all admitted students will undergo a written examination.
