The following types of questions will be seen throughout the semester: Multiple choices and phrases combination together with fill the gap items will be preferred in the quizzes. Essay-type exams: Short paragraph Reading. The reading will be followed by sentence-completion questions, open questions or true-false items to understand and interpret the passage. Vocabulary in use: Use of multiple choice to recognize the item. Grammar: A variety of techniques may be used to assess the grammar skills. A step forward may be that at this level students are expected to recognize the items less and to produce more. To achieve it, together with multiple choices, error correction and sentence combining exercises, completion items in which students have to fill in blanks in sentences may be added. In such questions, students are required to recall a word, concept, or a phrase to complete the blanks in the given sentence.

Short writing: In order to understand if students own the ability to manipulate the language, at this level, students are asked to write guided sentences. COURSE GRADING Department Code : 606 Course Code: 6060202 Course Title: Ital 202 A1.2 Section nr: Credit: 4 || Course Catalog Description: ||
