Oral Part (30 points)
Speaking

Task 10: A presentation (20 points)
Students deliver a 5-minute presentation by heart on an IT topic of their choice in front of an audience using visuals. Remember that a good presentation has some sort of a claim or argument. Consider the difference between "Basic Information on Self-Driving Cars" vs. "Self-Driving Cars Will NOT Revolutionize Driving". Avoid giving a simple overview on a particular topic.

Task 11: Discussion (10 points)

Students choose a topic and then discuss it as a group. During this task, students show that they are able to participate in a discussion, express agreement or disagreement, and use relevant vocabulary.

For this part of the exam, students need to prepare a small handout and make sure they have enough copies for all participating students as well as the examiner. Some more information on the mandatory parts of the handout from the first section of this syllabus:

o   Main points from the presentation for others to review (should not be too detailed – your peers will have just seen the presentation!); the main points are NOT the structure of the presentation, but what the audience should remember.

o   Discussion question – make sure to think carefully about your discussion topic and questions. One of the discussion topics will be used in this part of the examination to support the discussion - bear in mind your topic and questions must sustain (up to) twelve minutes of discussion and accommodate 5 speakers!

The passing score for this part is 18 (12+6) points out of 30 (20+10).

If you fail any part of the oral exam, you need to prepare an entirely new presentation!
