Course Description: The course aims to build students’ orthographic competence; speech culture, ability, and readiness to teach orthography to secondary school students.

Module 3 examines the methods of teaching orthography. Summative assessment is a pass/fail test. ,

Classroom activities and teaching techniques The course combines such forms of instruction as lectures, practical sessions, independent work, and project work. The major activities the students are engaged in and further assessed are answers at practical sessions, a team/individual project, module (mid-term) test papers, and an end-of-course test paper. For completing the listed activities, a student can earn a maximum of 100 and a minimum of 60 points. A detailed description of the criteria to assess the coursework is shown in the course curriculum displayed on the website of Educational and Scientific Institute of Philology.

Assessment A student’s final grade is based on a 100-point grading system. The total score is made up of the scores earned for the performance during the term (max. 100, min. 60 points). Formative assessment involves answers at practical sessions (30 points), module tests (20 points), a project (24 points), a creative assignment (12 points) and an end-of-course test (14 points). A ‘pass/fail’ assessment is based on the outcomes of the coursework during the term and does not involve any additional assessment events. To succeed in the pass/fail assessment, students are required to gain a passing grade of 60; students fail if the score is below 60. A detailed description of the assessment criteria of the coursework is presented in the course curriculum displayed on the website of Educational and Scientific Institute of Philology.
