Assessment Poster design: In this activity each student chooses any topic to
prepare a poster. The preparation and designing poster about specific
topics is the main purpose of this stage.
Extensive Reading: Students are required to read intensively and
extensively both updated authentic informational texts (on science,
history, education , environment etc.) and narratives that focus on
building attitude, language and phonetic awareness, comprehension
strategies, vocabulary development, writing skills, accuracy, creativity
and imagination.
Speaking Videos: Students record a video narration of the read short

stories or any other subject of their own choice relevant to their
disciplines, in their mobile phones for five minutes. The recorded
works can be displayed in the classroom and accordingly evaluated on
their fluency, content, creativity, vocabulary and structure.
Writing Projects: Every student is given an opportunity to conduct

independent investigation on a topic, preferably in their own field of
study that interests her/him the most. For the selection of the topics,
students can consult their relevant teachers at their own departments.
The length of the project, depending on the level of her/his English,
will be about 1500 words.
This practice should start with 100 words and gradually arrive at the
desired magnitude with the constant care and supervision of their
English and subject teachers.

opinion/argument and narrative on-demand texts.

are sent later than specified date, they will lose 20% of the assignment
points.
Academic Dishonesty: Any plagiarism while studying will be
severely penalized, including the possibility of receiving a non-pass
for the course. Reference should be given to the sources used in one’s
work. If 25% or more plagiarism cases are found out, the work will be
marked "zero". However, any research paper consisting of references
and citations only, without further analysis by the student, will not be
acceptable either. Cheating during the exams will be penalized .
