Baccalaureate 2024, autumn session. Evaluation of the evidence
The test to evaluate oral communication skills in Romanian is evaluated by two teachers. Each examining teacher notes independently, based on the grid, on an individual slip, the level of linguistic competence of oral communication in Romanian (average user, advanced user, experienced user).
Immediately after the candidate takes the test, the examining teachers determine the candidate’s language proficiency level. If the two teachers award the same level, this becomes the final language proficiency level. If they grant different levels, the level of language competence is determined as follows:
If the first examining teacher gives the candidate the level of “intermediate user” and the second teacher gives the level of “advanced user”, the final language proficiency level will be “advanced user”.
If the first examining teacher gives the candidate the level of “intermediate user” and the second teacher gives the level of “experienced user”, the final language proficiency level will be “advanced user”.
If the first examining teacher gives the candidate the level of “advanced user” and the second teacher gives the level of “experienced user”, the final language proficiency level will be “experienced user”.
