LG5001 Mündliche Prüfung (Oral 2) – AY2023-24 – Semester 1 Topic: You are two exchange students who are studying in München (Germany) and in the semester break you are travelling to Salzburg in Österreich (Austria). On the first day you visit the Christkindlmarkt, a traditional Weihnachtsmarkt (Christmas market) in Salzburg. Here you walk around and try Glühwein (mulled wine) and other local delicacies. While walking around you discuss your likes and dislikes, but you also make plans for the coming two days, as you still have not seen anything of Salzburg and the area. One of you loves outdoor activities and would love to try skiing in the region Salzkammergut (Bad Ischl), but the other one is an art and culture fan and has no interest in any form of winter sports. Thus, while you discover the Christkindlmarkt, you also speak about the different interests you have and the options for doing them in the next two days. You might also ask locals for suggestions and advice and you discuss what things you can see and do. It is important that you plan a detailed schedule for the next two days. You might also actually act out visiting places. In this you must consider the following: • • • your likes and dislikes a precise schedule plan the time realistically Basic Rules: • • • • • • Your tutor will separate you in groups of 3 or 2 students. Group of 3: 2 of you will be the students and 1 is a local. Group of 2: 1 will be the student and the other one will play a double role – acting as the student and a local. Your tutor will assign you a time slot for your oral exam. Please make sure that you are on time! Part 1: You will act out the prepared performance. You have 8 - 10 min to act out your scene. (5 - 7 min for a group of 2) Part 2: Your tutor will ask you questions on any of the topics that we have covered this semester, i.e. family, food, accommodation, daily schedule and hobbies. Notes are strictly prohibited during the oral exam! General Information: The aim of the Oral Exam is to demonstrate your proficiency in speaking and understanding German in a casual and conversational style and setting.
