• Skills-based approach
• Learner-centered approach

5. Evaluation
• Considering the ongoing process of evaluation, this course attempts
to provide students different spaces to demonstrate language
proficiency as a forward-looking assessment in which exercises,
questions, or problems create a real-life situation or specific issue to
be addressed (Dee Fink, 2003). In addition, students’ learning is
monitored through formative assessment in order to provide ongoing
feedback that can be used by instructors to improve their teaching
and by students to improve their learning. This kind of assessment is
also focused on what students can do with knowledge.
