Proyecto
ICESI LEVEL VI MODULO 1 JOB INTERVIEW VIDEO
Descripción
DESCRIPTION:
This is a project to be carried out during the course of English VI, at the Universidad Icesi. It prepares the students for a job interview in English while at the same time increasing their exposure to the four English language skills.
The importance of preparing the students for a job interview in English cannot be overemphasized, since they will not only be interviewed several times in their lifetime, but they will also be in administrative positions in which they will have to interview job applicants in the companies where they work. In addition to this, the project offers an effective way to improve their competence in the English language.
Objetivos
OBJECTIVE: To have the students carry out an authentic, real-life task, that exercises the four language skills in English: reading, writing, listening, speaking and prepares them for a job interview in English. After rehearsing answers to typical job interview questions, students in groups produce a video in which they enact the interview.

Evaluación
Progress is measured by having the students write down their answers to typical job interview questions at the end of the project and comparing them with their initial answers.
The video returned by the students becomes the final assessment tool.
Here is the suggested quantitative evaluation for the entire task:
Practice with a partner with each of the seven questions proposed during the task amounts to 10% of the final grade, for a total of 70%.
Production of and participation in the video where two students interview and are interviewed by two students, corresponds to the other 30% of the task.
