In order to overcome the written part, the student must obtain at least 18/30 in both parts (otherwise he will have to re-present himself to the written exam in a subsequent appeal).
Oral part: The oral part, (a few days away): interview aimed at assessing comprehension / expression skills, according to the pre-established level, also starting from mandatory readings.
- In order to pass the examination, the student must achieve a minimum mark of 18/30 in both the written and oral sections. The final grade will be given by the average of the two parts (written and oral).- A written paper will be considered adequate if it presents: lexical richness, morphosyntactic variety and precision, grammatical correctness, according to the level indicated.- An oral paper will be considered adequate if the candidate demonstrates the ability to conduct a rich and fluent conversation on different and in-depth themes (including from readings/viewings), and shows, in addition to mastery of grammar, control of various expressive aspects of the language (non-standard registers and varieties, style, pragmatic aspects).
