Information on preparing for the formal oral evaluation:

 

This formal interview primarily assesses oral skills in the respective foreign language and not content (economics) or (prior) knowledge.
The assessment is based on the CEFR descriptors.
The most important categories are listed separately for each language.
The possible questions (e.g., about the person or current topics) allow students to demonstrate their language skills.

 

English:

Spoken language use B2

Spoken production:
Can give clear, detailed descriptions and presentations on a wide range of subjects related to his/her field of interest, expanding and supporting ideas with subsidiary points and relevant examples.

Range:
Has a sufficient range of language to be able to give clear descriptions, express viewpoints on most general topics, without much conspicuous searching for words, using some complex sentence forms to do so.

Accuracy:
Shows a relatively high degree of grammatical control. Does not make errors which cause misunderstanding, and can correct most of his/her mistakes.

Fluency:
Can produce stretches of language with a fairly even tempo; although he/she can be hesitant as he or she searches for patterns and expressions, there are few noticeably long pauses.

Interaction:
Can communicate spontaneously with good grammatical control without much sign of having to restrict what he/she wants to say, adopting a level of formality appropriate to the circumstances. Can initiate discourse, take his/her turn when appropriate and end conversation when he / she needs to.

Coherence:
Can use a limited number of cohesive devices to link his/her utterances into clear, coherent discourse, though there may be some "jumpiness" in a long contribution.
