COMMUNICATION OBJECTIVE  Final Assessment (Final test)


The format of this assessment is similar to the CA1 (Midterm Test), which you took in the middle of the course. However, in this Final Test there is one more part which focuses on written production, so
you will be required to write a text in appropriate style with no reference to dictionaries or other materials. The choices for the written production are based on the topics and language structure
Lesson 32

practised during the course through the Communicative Writing tasks.


The estimated time for this Final Test is 100 minutes and it is divided in four parts:
♦ Listening = 10 marks
♦ Reading = 10 marks
♦ Language in use (grammar and vocabulary) = 10 marks
♦ Communicative writing = 10 marks / Total = 40 marks*
*In the Progress Report (Relatório de Aproveitamento) the total of 40 marks is converted to 30 marks. 
