Preparing for Oral Exam
The Oral Exam for K101 will be conducted in a format in which you and me are
engaged in free spontaneous conversation.
You will be scored on five
criteria:
(i) Comprehension: has to do with how well you understand what's going on in the conversation.
(ii) Fluency: how smoothly you produce your utterance, not the speed of it.
(iii) Accuracy: how you command your grammar, vocabulary and expressions accurately.
(iv) Spontaneity: you will score better if you spontaneously initiate conversation rather than passively responding to the questions given to you.
(v) Uses of grammar:
how well you utilize the grammar and expressions you have learned in this class,
and how creatively use them.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT BE PASSIVE. DO NOTJUST RESPOND
TO THE INTERVIEWER'S QUESTIONS, BUT YOU NEED
TO INITIATE CONVERSATION AS MUCH AS YOU CAN.
Every question is intended
for you to use a pattern or expression covered in the lessons.
