Teaching methods
Exposition and definition of basic terms and their exemplification on different types of specific texts (Recordings), proceeding from divers registers. During the seminar a regular preparation is mandatory. One of the parts of the seminar is formed also by a discussion and by a work in a group with dictionaries, with authentic materials of spoken and written European Portuguese language, dictations, etc.
Assessment methods
The credit: active participation and attendance is required (80%) as well as all the exercises that form the e-learning course. During the examination period, the student writes a dictation. After, he is admitted to a written test (minimum success of the dictation and of the test is 75%) where students show their ability to analyse and explain phenomena in accordance (or in conflict) with the standard. In irresolute cases the teacher can discuss with the student about the problematic points of the written test.
