ENGLISH C1.1 (ENGLISH PROFICIENCY)
TP12
2024/2025 – Second Semester
Ana Rita Martins (anaritasilva@edu.ulisboa.pt)
Goals
English C1.1 builds on the competencies gained at English B2.2 level. While it works on all four language skills, this course focuses on representation of imagined (or fictional) cities and how these spaces can be associated with numerous concepts, namely issues of representation and reality, and their impact on our own individual attitudes, values and beliefs. In addition, students will expand their vocabulary and improve their knowledge of complex grammatical structures using Cambridge examination materials.
Assessment & Grading System
Assessment will be continuous. Students
are expected to attend all classes and to complete assignments prior to the
class. Students will also be required to perform a variety of in-class
activities (both written and oral).
The assessment criteria are as follows:
Grammar Test: 15%
In-class writing activity: 15%
Oral Assignment: 25%
Written Test: 25%
Attendance & Participation: 20%
2.1. Date for the Grammar Test: May 2
2.2. Date for the in-class writing activity: April 4
2.3. Dates for the oral assignments: see list of dates online
2.4. Date for the Written Test: May 23
NB: If you do not come to class on the day you are meant to do your in-house assignments, you will get zero.

Classroom Policies
Plagiarism is the act of using somebody else’s ideas
and work as your own in either written or oral work and constitutes a very
serious academic offence. Work found to be plagiarised or written with AI tools
(including paraphrasing tools) will immediately get zero. Make sure you are well acquainted with the FLUL
Assessment Regulations with regards to fraud and plagiarism. Attendance and Punctuality
·
As stated in
the School of Arts and Humanities Assessment Regulations published on the FLUL
website, students are required to comply with 100% attendance. Absence must be
justified up to 10 days after a class has been missed.
o
If you miss a class,
make sure you refer to the Course Calendar or get in touch with one of your
classmates to find out what preparation is required for the next class. You can
also access the class summaries online (in Portal Académico).
· Classes start five
minutes after the hour. Your presence and arrival on time is essential and
will be reflected on your final mark — being late not only disturbs class but
is also a sign of disrespect for your classmates and your teacher.
· Students who are absent on the set test date will not get a chance to sit the test on another date. Arrangement of alternative test dates is subject to the student’s submission of a medical certificate/formal justification.
