Oral communication (Outcome 1)
Following a prepared presentation, candidates will be required to discuss issues and respond to questions in the German following on naturally from the topic chosen. The information to be exchanged will be mainly of a factual nature. This test of oral communication will contribute to both the internal assessment of the Unit and to the external assessment of the course. For the purpose of the Unit assessment, the candidate’s performance will be assessed on a pass/fail basis. The performance criteria for a pass should be interpreted as being the same as the Grade C descriptions in the course specification.
