Teaching Methods

The course will follow the "blended learning" approach. Together with lessons based on the communicative approach, we will use mulimedial supports in Serbian and Croatian languages. Teamwork will also be ecouraged and practiced, as ell as class presentations and tandem works. The course will benefit from the support of the foreign language assistant.

Evaluation methods

Verification of learning:

The exam is made of a written and an oral part, which together determine the final score. Students attending classes regularly have three partial tests during the course. Each will consist of: dictation / composition; an understanding test, a grammar test and a lexical test. Students who pass the three partials will take directly the oral final exam.
Students who cannot attend, or students who do not pass the partial tests, will take a final comprehensive written examination, corresponding to the three partials and consisting of dictation / composition; an understanding test, a grammar test and a lexical test.
The exam score is valid for three exam sessions. Students can take the oral exam in the same session or in one of the successive two sessions. The oral exam will assess the student's ability to express the contents of the course in the Serbian and Croatian language. The grading scale is from 1 to 30, based on the qualitu of the answers.
