The course combines reading and commentary on selected bibliography, teacher explanations and clarifications, and practical tasks and exercises. This aims to teach Discourse Analysis theory and practice.
The virtual classroom has materials and resources for developing topics and practical activities. The compulsory reading bibliography is also available.
Each week, there are two hours of class to present and explain the programme, and one hour of practical class to apply the concepts. Both types of sessions encourage students to read the compulsory bibliography and complete the practical tasks on time.
Tutorials will normally be face-to-face, but may occasionally be conducted virtually.
The language of instruction is Spanish.
At the earliest opportunity, students must select one of two assessment options at the beginning of the course: continuous assessment or assessment by final exam. Those who choose continuous assessment must demonstrate that they have attended 80% of classes by providing a signature check. Absences will only be excused with duly accredited justification on the days immediately following the absence. Students who miss more than 20% of the sessions will not be assessed by means of assignments and must pass the subject by means of a final exam, which will count for 100% of the mark.
In order to pass the subject, those who opt for continuous assessment must obtain a minimum mark of 3.5 points in the final exam. The elements of monitoring and continuous assessment are as follows:
1. Completion of a paper (20%).
2. Practical exercises throughout the four-month period (20%).
b) An individual written test on the contents of the subject on the date set by the centre for the final exam (60% of the final grade).
Students who are excused from attendance will take a final exam at both opportunities, which will count for 100% of the mark.
2nd opportunity:
The final written exam will be taken in person on the date set by the faculty (100% of the mark).
Please note that in the case of fraudulent performance of exercises or tests, the final exam will count for 100% of the mark.
In addition to the hours of classroom activities, an average of 4 hours per week is estimated.
Prerequisite for this course:
Advanced instrumental command of the Spanish language (for non-native speakers, level of Spanish B2 is recommended).
