Teachers will evaluate their oral skills (online meetings, films) as well as their written skills (texts and questionnaires of the films, infosheets, stories).
Apart from that, transversal skills like creativity, communication, collaboration, multiperspectivity, critical thinking and also foreign language and ICT skills will be evaluated by the teachers.
