world and touching on issues of literature, society, technology, and current affairs. It also offers students some training in writing their cover letter, summaries and other useful documents in the target language. Other Generally, communication skills are developed through frequent presentations and teamwork; self-management skills are promoted through independent work; problem-solving skills mainly through translation and simulations, and IT skills through web and computer assisted language learning. Finally, creative skills are fostered through creative writing and a task-orientated approach. The course unit consists of language tuition in spoken and written Portuguese through the study and production of texts of different genres. It includes language simulations, oral presentations and essay writing.It also uses the Canvas virtual learning environment as a supplement to support and manage aspects of learning and teaching. Students are thus required to visit Canvas regularly for essential information on the course, work done in class and other various tasks, including online assessments and discussions.  Given the nature of language learning, students will be expected to attend all classes and to prepare adequately for them in order to be able to participate actively in class discussion and group activities.  0 Other 100% <table border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" style="width:500px;"> <tbody> <tr> <td>Assessment task</td> <td>Formative or Summative</td> <td>Weighting within unit (if summative)</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Written Exam</td> <td>Summative </td> <td>25%</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Written Exam</td> <td>Summative </td> <td>30%</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Oral exam</td> <td>Summative </td> <td>30%</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Short story review</td> <td>Summative </td> <td>15%</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Fortnightly written assignment </td> <td>Formative</td> <td> </td> </tr> </tbody></table>Resit Assessment<table border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" style="width:500px;"> <tbody> <tr> <td>Assessment task</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Written exam</td> </tr> </tbody></table> <table aria-rowcount="4" border="1" data-tablelook="480" data-tablestyle="MsoNormalTable"> <tbody> <tr aria-rowindex="1" role="row"> <td data-celllook="4369" role="rowheader">Feedback method  </td> <td data-celllook="4369" role="columnheader">Formative or Summative </td> </tr> <tr aria-rowindex="2" role="row"> <td data-celllook="4369" role="rowheader">Regular individual written feedback on completed and marked assignments and oral presentations plus face-to-face discussion if desired. </td> <td data-celllook="4369">Formative </td> </tr> <tr aria-rowindex="3" role="row"> <td data-celllook="4369" role="rowheader">Global feedback on frequent errors or omissions to indicate problem areas and allow questions and discussion (delivered orally in class/ as a handout) </td> <td data-celllook="4369">Formative </td> </tr> <tr aria-rowindex="4" role="row"> <td data-celllook="4369" role="rowheader">In-class comments on homework, presentations and other exercises. </td> <td data-celllook="4369">Formative </td> </tr> </tbody></table> SPLA52010 Portuguese Language 1 Pre-Requisite Compulsory  <table aria-rowcount="5" border="1" data-tablelook="0" data-tablestyle="MsoNormalTable"> <tbody> <tr aria-rowindex="1" role="row"> <td data-celllook="4369">Available on which programme(s)? </td> <td data-celllook="4369">Spanish, Portuguese and Latin American Studies single honours; Portuguese joint honours; Minor in Portuguese </td> </tr> <tr aria-rowindex="2" role="row"> <td data-celllook="4369">Available as Free Choice (UG) or to other programmes (PG)? </td> <td data-celllook="4369">No </td> </tr> <tr aria-rowindex="3" role="row"> <td data-celllook="4369">Available to students on an Erasmus programme </td> <td data-celllook="4369">Yes, but only to those studying for a degree in Portuguese at their home institutions and who will be at Manchester for an entire academic year. </td> </tr> <tr aria-rowindex="4" role="row"> <td data-celllook="4369">Pre/Co/Antirequisite units </td> <td data-celllook="4369">Pre-requisite: SPLA52010, A-Level Portuguese, OR equivalent language competence.  </td> </tr> <tr aria-rowindex="5" role="row"> <td data-celllook="4369">Medium of language </td> <td data-celllook="4369">Portuguese and English </td> </tr> </tbody></table> N - Anna Klobucka et al., Ponto de Encontro: Portuguese as a World Language.
