The Current Grade in Practice of Speech consists of the following elements: О pr.o.sp. = 0,05*О contact work + 0,05*О analytical quiz + 0,05*О creative task + 0,1*О test.Contact work which stands for the student’s work in class comprised by the following constituent parts: attendance, active classroom participation, homework completion. The maximum grade for this type of assessment is 3. To calculate the final grade for this type of assessment a percentage formula is applied: О CW = О cumulative * 10/О max. points. 2) Analytical tests aimed at the control of new knowledge and skills formation, timely correction of reaching strategies which include lexical tests (1-5 tests each unit). The maximum grade for this type of assessment is 10. To calculate the final (cumulative) grade for this type of assessment the following formula is applied: О analytical quiz = (О analytical quiz 1 + О analytical quiz 2 + …….)/О total number. 3) Creative activities: monologues, debates, discussions, role-plays, round-table discussions, projects, written products. The maximum grade for this type of assessment is 10. To calculate the final (cumulative) grade for this type of assessment the following formula is applied: О creative test = (О creative test 1 + О creative test 2 + …….)/О total number. 4) Final tests on each unit which may include the following aspects: lexical test, reading/listening comprehension activities, speaking products (monologues, discussions), written products (paragraphs, essays). The maximum grade for this type of assessment is 10. To calculate the final (cumulative) grade for this type of assessment the following formula is applied: О test = (О lexical test + О monologue + …….)/О total number.

The ongoing assessment in Grammar is calculated according to the formula: О = 0,05*Оtests + 0,05*Оcontact work + 0,05*ОLMS + 0,1*Оfinal test. The ongoing assessment (ОGrammar) is based on the following elements of control: 1) tests (О test = (О test 1 + О test 2 + …….) / О number of tests); 2) active contact work in class 3) tests in LMS; 4) final tests. At the end of each module the teacher indicates the date of deadline for checking the tests in LMS. If the tasks have not been completed by this date, the grades will be counted off, e.g. if a student got 7 out of 10-scale grading system but 5 compulsory tests were not done then the grade is 2 (7-5).

The grade for Phonetics includes result of the ongoing control in the following way: Ot.g.= 0.05* Оongoing + 0,05* Оaud + 0,1* Оtest. Where Oongoing is calculated as a sum of all forms of the ongoing control provisioned in the GSP (General Study Plan) divided by their number: Oongoing = ∑ O test n /n.The teacher assesses the students` work during the classes: participation in dialogues and discussions, monologues and presentations, role-plays, written tasks fulfillment. The teacher assesses students` independent work in terms of homework completion of extensive reading and listening tasks. The grades for these two types of activities are recorded in the register (decimal system 0-10), and the mean is calculated at the end of the year – Oaud.

In Module 2, Grammar examination is taken on the examination week. Practice of Speech and Phonetics final control tasks are taken in the form of written and/or oral tests at the last lesson. In Module 4, Phonetics examination is taken on the examination week. Practice of Speech teacher rates students for Modules 1-4 considering the Module Grade results in Grammar and Phonetics, which should be personally provided by the teachers of the corresponding aspects. In Module 3, Practice of Speech examination is taken on the examination week. The exam consists of two parts. A written part includes a lexical test. There are 40 questions in the test. The grade is calculated according to the following scale: 40p. – 10; 38-39p. – 9; 35-37p. – 8; 32-34p. – 7; 29-31p. – 6; 25-28p. – 5; 20-24p. – 4;15-20p. – 3; 10-14p. – 2; 4-9p. – 1; 0-3p. –0. An oral part includes 3 tasks: monologues, questions and answers, discussions. The Exam Grade is calculated according to the following formula - G exam= (G lexical test + G monologue+G questions/answers+G discussion)/4.
