The students are assessed in terms of

• classroom attendance and classroom participation,

• mid term test,

• journal report,

• project assignment.

Student’s project:

• The students, in-group of three, develop English learning materials for particular disciplines
based on needs analysis they do.
• Dialogue journal is written by each group, and should be submitted at the end of each step
