German 2 (MA)

The examination consists of a written test (based on the exercise classes) and written and/or oral tests for the monographic part, all compulsory and marked in thirtieths. The mark for the Lingua examination will be a single one and will take into account the results of all the tests.

The examination consists of the following parts, all of which are compulsory:

1) ESERCITAZIONI: ORAL + WRITTEN
2) CORSO MONOGRAFICO

1) ESERCITAZIONI:
Written and oral examination (the oral examination can only be taken after passing the written part)

a. WRITTEN EXAMINATION:
Written examination in official session. Students must bring a monolingual German print dictionary with them to the examination.

The written examination consists of:
- Grammatiktest/Grammar Test (40 minutes): grammar and vocabulary test at C1 level, without the aid of dictionaries;
- Sprachmittlung/Language Mediation (60 minutes): written task of language mediation. Only the paper version of the monolingual German dictionary may be used for this test.

The tests are graded in thirtieths. The examination is passed if a mark of 18/30 is achieved for each part.

The written examination can be taken at the MAY, SEPTEMBER and JANUARY sessions, starting in MAY 2025.


Students may inspect their written examination papers at the office of the Language Teachers.

Please refer to Ariel for details on the type of exercises required in the written examination.

b. ORAL EXAMINATION:
The examination consists of a linguistic mediation of a short text from Italian into German (without the aid of dictionaries) proposed by the teacher. This is followed by an interview in German with the native speaker on the topic. The choice of material will be based on the topics covered during the year.

The practice exam must be completed within one academic year of the first test passed (written), otherwise the exam will be repeated.


2) CORSO MONOGRAFICO:
The examination differs according to whether students are attending or not.

a. FREQUENTING STUDENTS:
Attending students may take intercourse examinations instead of the official written and oral examinations:
- PART A (20 hours, 3 CFU). Intercourse examination: oral presentation (mündliches Referat) in place of the official examination;
- PART B (20 hours, 3 CFU). Intercourse examination: written paper (Hausarbeit) in place of the official examination;
- PART C (20 hours, 3 CFU). Intercourse examination: oral presentation of a group work in place of the official examination. The work will involve the presentation of a research and analysis pathway (student's choice), involving existing corpora or the creation of ad hoc corpora.


b. NON-FREQUENCING students:
For Module A, presentation of an oral report on a topic agreed with the lecturer. For Module B, a dissertation must be handed in 10 days before the chosen roll call. In the thesis, the structure of which will be provided, the following must be included: theoretical background, presentation of the data and the chosen analysis approach, formulation of the research question(s), discussion of the results. For module C the starting point of the interview will be the oral presentation.

NB: The oral examination of the ESERCITAZIONI and the written/oral examination of the MONOGRAFICO are part of a single official exam.

International students or incoming Erasmus students are invited to contact the teacher as soon as possible. The examination procedures for students with disabilities and/or with DSA must be agreed with the teacher, in agreement with the competent office.
