Junto con la asignatura "Inglés de Especialidad", esta asignatura constituye el grupo de las dos asignaturas relacionadas con el aprendizaje de la lengua inglesa para fines específicos, en el ámbito de la ingeniería correspondiente a la titulación en la que se imparte (Ingeniería Mecánica).

The objective of the course is the acquisition of a level of communicative linguistic competence that allows students to develop professional, academic, social and cultural activities related to the field of Mechanical Engineering. The course covers knowledge and abilities related to the development of communicative skills within the context of Engineering and its professional world, specially in the Mechanical Engineering branch. The course focuses on the 4 communicative skills (writing, reading, listening and speaking), as well as grammar and vocabulary at an intermediate level (between the B1 and B2 levels of the European Framework for Languages). There is also a especial focus on technical writing and oral presentation skills on specific topics of Mechanical Engineering.

Evaluación continua formativa (trabajos/proyectos) y sumativa (exámenes) PROCEDIMIENTOS DE EVALUACIÓN: a) (EO) - El epígrafe "Examen/defensa oral" se corresponde con dos actos de evaluación, consistentes en una presentación oral en grupos y una entrevista oral. Estos 2 actos tienen el mismo peso en la evaluación, y cuentan un total de un 30% de la nota final. b) (PI) - El epígrafe "Trabajos académicos" se refiera a un total de 12 prácticas (tareas realizadas en las clases prácticas de la asignatura), en las que los alumnos realizan actividades de práctica de la lengua a través de las TIC y en parejas. Todas estas prácticas tienen el mismo peso en la evaluación, y cuentan, en conjunto, un total de un 15% de la nota final. c) (PRO) - El epígrafe "Proyecto" consiste en un trabajo que describe un proyecto de ingeniería. Es un acto de evaluación que tiene un peso del 15% de la nota final. d) (PE) - El epígrafe "Prueba escrita" se corresponde con dos actos de evaluación consistentes en 2 exámenes escritos. Ambos tienen el mismo peso en la evaluación y cuentan, los dos, un total del 40% de la nota final. ECUACIÓN CÁLCULO NOTA FINAL = EO [(EO1 + EO2)/2 * 0,3] + PI [(PI1+PI2+PI3+PI4+PI5+PI6+PI7+PI8+PI9+PI10+PI11+PI12)/12 * 0,15] + PRO [PRO * 0,15] + PE [(PE1+PE2)/2 * 0,4] Se valora tanto la corrección léxica y gramatical como las destrezas comunicativas en los trabajos y los exámenes, además de la asistencia y realización de las prácticas. PROCEDIMIENTO DE RECUPERACIÓN: Los apartados (a), (b), (c) y (d) de la evaluación (exámenes escritos, pruebas orales, prácticas y proyectos) podrán ser recuperados. EVALUACIÓN ALTERNATIVA: Si un alumno tiene otorgada la Dispensa de Obligación de Asistencia, debe comunicarlo cuanto antes al profesorado. Para esta asignatura no es necesaria Evaluación Alternativa, ya que los alumnos que tengan aprobada la Dispensa de Obligación de Asistencia deberán presentar los mismos trabajos y hacer los mismos actos de evaluación que el resto de los alumnos y en los mismos plazos establecidos. En caso justificado, las entregas y formatos se podrán adaptar en función de las necesidades y situación particular del alumno. Además de las entregas, se podrán establecer controles por el profesorado para el seguimiento y verificación de la autoría de los trabajos presentados.
