- A written test and an oral examination.
- Metody hodnocení
- The examination consists of two parts: a written test and an oral examination. In order to be able to sit for the oral part of the exam, students need to reach a minimum score of 60% in the test.
The written test as part of a standardized exam is based on upper-intermediate grammar and IT field relevant vocabulary. It consists of listening, reading, grammar and vocabulary, and writing sections. Students can be exempt from most of the written part of the exam (but they still have to take the email writing part and the oral part) if they have the following certificates (not older than four years): Cambridge English: First (previously FCE), Advanced (previously CAE), Proficiency (previously CPE); IELTS band score 5.5/6.5 or higher; TOEFL iBT Total score 87 or higher. Secondary school exams (i.e. maturita) are not accepted. Students must submit their certificate into the IS homework vault created for this purpose at least one month prior to the start of the exam period in which they wish to take VB001.
The oral examination has two parts: a presentation on an IT-related topic delivered in front of an audience and a discussion based on one of the presentations. To facilitate the discussion, students need to prepare a handout to complement their presentations. The following criteria are taken into consideration for the presentation part, so students are strongly advised to bear those in mind while presenting: good content, clear structure, good conclusion, usage of signposting, correct usage of English (self-correction is possible and welcomed), relevant range of vocabulary and correct pronunciation (avoiding irritating mistakes), stress and intonation, quality and language of visuals and references (excluding wikipedia), eye contact with the audience and proper body language, good timing, handling the Q&A session and overall impression (fun, passion, expertise, effort..., fluency, dress code). For the discussion, students are expected to bring a good-quality handout (FI unified style recommended, goal of presentation, bullet points, question for discussion) and be active within the discussion. This includes turn-taking, negotiating, agreeing and disagreeing using relevant and appropriate language. The whole group is also rewarded a point if they reach a conclusion.
The level of the exam is B2 of the Common European Framework (Upper Intermediate). - Vyučovací jazyk
