Assessment :  The written exam, which will take place at the end of the 2nd term, will include a sight text, as well as questions about the grammatical structures and the vocabulary of the texts seen in class.

The oral exam will not only assess the students' listening comprehension and speaking, but also their use of the vocabulary exercised in class, and will bear on the topics discussed during the course. Moreover, students will present a text about a legal issue of their own choice.
