The oral part of the exam is based on a reading passage to be chosen by the students after the written exam from a task bank prepared for this purpose. The text will present a controversial social or educational issue.
- to read, interpret and evaluate the ideas in the text,
- make a 10-minute presentation about it accompanied by a ppt or prezi for the exam,
- present the main ideas and your interpretation of them,
- take a position on the idea presented in the text and argue for your viewpoint,
- find additional sources to support your viewpoint (even if you agree with the writer),
- conduct a spontaneous discussion about the text with the examiners.
You have to indicate your choice in the closed Google Classroom, where the texts will be made available for you. You will be assigned the articles on a first come – first served basis so indicate your main topic and also a secondary option in case your first choice has already been taken. The chosen text will be sent to everyone individually.
