- FULL REGISTRATION (effective registration for the language skills assessment test):
-
The full registration link*, timetable and payment method with full details will be sent later on to the email provided in the expression of interest.
- LANGUAGE SKILLS ASSESSMENT TEST: The test will consist of a written test** and an online speaking test***.
- **The computer-based test on the Moodle platform (and WebEx for online supervision via webcam), which involves assessing lexical-grammatical, listening and reading comprehension skills, will last 30 minutes and will be limited to the achievement of the levels B1 and B2. The written test will be followed by an oral test via Skype or WebEx with a language expert.
- ***The oral test will consist of a free conversation (topics: family, studies, free time, travel, etc.) of approximately 10-15 minutes, in which the expert will check fluency, pronunciation, grammar and vocabulary. The expert will evaluate the language proficiency and the results of the two tests (placement test and oral test), and will determine the final level achieved. Regardless of the level achieved, the University Language Centre will issue a badge (digital certificate) or a digitally signed certificate in the following weeks, attesting the level of proficiency required (or lower if the computer-based test or the oral test does not confirm the level). The relevant certification will not show the result for the four language skills.
