Sesiones de 1 a 9 Exam content and description Objectives The exam is scored out of a maximum of 30 points, which will go into the calculation of your grade point average, and evaluates your ability to: • understand fairly long and complex listening passages, making notes and reworking the information heard • write structured texts of various types • oral interaction: presentation and discussion • demonstrate your knowledge of the language, by correctly using a range of vocabulary and grammatical structures Rules The exam consists of a written paper and an oral exam. Both need to be passed for the grade to count towards the final average. In order to take the oral exam, it is necessary to: • pass the written exam (minimum mark 18/30) • have a test score that hasn’t expired, i.e. that is still valid (see Written Exam, Validity) Students can choose to retake the written exam before taking the oral exam but must remember that handing in their paper annuls any previous grade given. The Oral exam is compulsory and the score is added to the written grade. 5 We would like to remind students that, in order to take the exam, they must register for the exam session in question at the Punto Blu. Organisation Written Exam The written exam consists of two parts. Each part is worth assigned a mark and the sum of these marks is converted into thirtieths to give the final grade. Listening to one or more passages – monologues and dialogues – containing data, First part opinions, descriptions, explanations Check candidates’ ability to: Objective • understand a listening passage and make brief notes on the information contained therein Listen to two messages and news: announcements, surveys, extracts from radio Skill conversations 1° true/false questions Exam 2° multiple choice answers Second part Writing a text Objective Exam 5/30 Checking candidates’: - ability to understand texts; - ability to write structured texts according to instructions given Writing a text ( letter, short report, memorandum) Duration 15/30 120 minutes Monolingual and bilingual dictionaries are allowed provided they do not contain grammar tables, lists or writing style models it is valid for the 3 subsequent oral exams, and it is also valid for the subsequent 12 months but there is a penalty that must be paid (see Oral Exam, Validity) Dictionary Validity Oral Exam Objective Skill Exam 10/30 Discussion of the topic presented led by the examiners using ad hoc questions Presentation and discussion Choose in accordance with the teacher an article regarding an aspect of Spanish current affairs and discuss this in the exam. Preparation of the above is indispensible in order to take the exam. Details on how to prepare for the exam are to be found online in the library for each language (Bocconi e-learning platform) or at: http://www.unibocconi.eu/languagecenter in Self-Study > Online materials 2TU U2T 2TU 2T Duration 15 minutes Dictionary Dictionaries are not allowed The oral exam can only be taken once you have passed the written exam. Students will be assessed in terms of their practical ability to communicate. During the oral exam marks can be added to or subtracted from the written exam result in the following way: Validity • • by +3 or -3, if the oral exam is passed within the 3 oral exams subsequent to the written exam; by +1 or -3, if the oral exam is passed after the first 3 subsequent oral exams, but still by 12 months subsequent to the written exam 6 As an alternative to the Bocconi exam, students may choose to register one of the international certifications recognized by the University. The achieved result is converted into a number grade out of a possible thirty and is registered in the academic career U U Additional Points The assessment of language skills depends both on the result of the final exam and on marks awarded during the year: 1. Positive participation in the course and completion of self-study activities 2. The exam passed the first time it is taken 3. Partial Exam Points are registered at the same time the oral exam is passed 1.
