Key Idea: Delivering the IA covers the oral itself: a 3–4 minute presentation of the extract, then the conversation. Ready phrases help you keep talking in German.
The presentation
- Einleitung — Introduce the extract.
- Inhalt — Place and plot, about one minute.
- Deutung — Two points, each with a quotation.
- Werk — Link the extract to the whole work.
- Schluss — A last sentence you planned.
The conversation
- Answer → reason → example → other side.
- Part 2 stays on the extract, with evidence from it; Part 3 goes out into the world.
- Never «Ja» or «Ich weiß nicht» alone.
- Ask for clarification when needed, not before every answer.
Language for the oral
- One ready phrase for each job: present, quote, interpret, link, buy time.
- Say narrator or character, not «das Buch».
- Name the technique and its effect every time.
- After «Abschließend» the verb comes next.
Speak from keywords, never read sentences, and practise with a timer until you finish in 3:15 to 3:45.
How many interpretation points do you need? Two are enough.
Where does your evidence come from in Part 2? The extract.
Your teacher asks a question and you say «Ja.» What is missing? A reason, an example and the other side.
Fix the word order: «Abschließend ich kann sagen …» «Abschließend kann ich sagen …»
