Evaluation methods

Q1
A test will be organised during the semester in the form of continuous monitoring.
The evaluation will consist of four parts, in accordance with the objectives pursued and will deal with the same topics as those covered (convergent use of the acquis). The assessment of the code (vocabulary and grammar) will be integrated into the assessments of skills (oral and written).

Ìý	test 1	examÌýÌý	totalÌýÌý
Listening comprehension assessment (analytical and global)	5%	10%	15%
Reading comprehension assessment + vocabulary	10%	25%	35%
Assessment of written expression	5%	15%	20%
AssessmentÌýof oral expression (individual and interactive)	presentationÌý: 10% video: 10%	10%	30%

All tests during the January session are compulsory. If you are absent (without official justification) for any part of the assessment, this will imply an "absence" mark for the whole assessment. A student who fails to take part of the assessment will therefore be disqualified from taking the other parts of the assessment. If you are absent without official justification for tests during the term, you will receive a 0/20 for the test(s).ÌýThe oral examination is based on the content of the texts seen and a video in Dutch which the student has compiled in the course of the semester. Without a video, the student cannot participate in the oral examination.Ìý
Attendance at the course is compulsory. If the teacher deems it useful, he/she may propose to the jury to oppose the registration to the course examination of a student who has not followed the learning activities regularly (RGEE - art. 72).
In theÌýJune/September session, the student is required to re-submit all the material for the written examination + the oral examination.ÌýThe mark for the permanent assessmen (= the presentation), obtained during the year, is given when it is in the student's favour. In the June/September examination, the student therefore only retakes the written part and the oral examination, not the presentations. If the student has not yet done so during the year, they must create a video for this June/September session. Q 2
Assessment is continuous (tests, assignments, participation, etc.) and certificative (oral and written exams). It will cover
the following parts:
- listening comprehension
- oral expression
- vocabulary
- command of the language
- knowledge of Dutch-speaking countries and regions
Students who obtain an unsatisfactory mark in any part of the course will automatically receive a failing grade for the whole course and will be required to retake that part during the September session.
Generative artificial intelligence (AI) must be used responsibly and in accordance with the practices of academic and scientific integrity. As scientific integrity requires that sources be cited, the use of AI must always be reported. The use of artificial intelligence for LNED1136 tests and examinations is explicitly forbidden and will be considered as cheating.
