On June 7, 2018, it became completely clear that the mandatory exam in foreign languages \u200b\u200bin 2022 will be held, no matter what. During the direct line with President of the Russian Federation V.V. Putin  a 9th grade graduate from Lobny asked about the introduction of two mandatory exams in 11th grade, the head of state redirected the question to the Minister of Education Olga Vasilyeva.

From her quite substantive answer, it became clear that the decision to introduce a mandatory exam in foreign languages \u200b\u200bwas made finally. About the mandatory history exam, the introduction of which in 2020 the minister personally announced repeatedly in various media, she answered evasively, saying that this issue was still being discussed.

Exactly one month later the information portal izvestia newspapers  invited to the press conference of the Head of FIPI Oksana Reshetnikova, the main developer of control and measuring materials for the exam of the profile exam in foreign languages Maria Verbitskaya  and Deputy Head of the Department of Foreign Languages, HSE Irina Rezanova. This was also a crucial moment, because they told in some detail what the updated exam in foreign languages \u200b\u200bwould look like.

The main points of the press conference with the developers of the exam in foreign languages:

1. The exam in foreign languages \u200b\u200bwill be of two difficulty levels: basic and core.  Analogies with the obligatory exam in mathematics are quite appropriate. Each graduate will be able to choose the level of difficulty.

2. The base level of the exam will be in the range from A2 + to B1.  Profile exam - up to level B2. This refers to 6 levels of knowledge of a foreign language approved by the Council of Europe. B2 just corresponds to 100 points in the core exam in a foreign language.

3. The profile exam will be fully consistent with the existing exam.  Developers do not plan any changes in tasks or in the minimum threshold of points.

4. The basic exam in a foreign language will correspond to the basic level of knowledge in this subject.  The greatest attention will be paid to speech practice: listening, reading, speaking, as well as language competence (language knowledge and skills).

5. VPR-2018 in foreign languages \u200b\u200b- this is the real tasks that will be on the basic exam. In order to understand what the demo version of the basic level of the exam in a foreign language will look like, just look at the FIPI website the demo version of the VLR (All-Russian Verification Test) for 11 classes. The developers officially confirmed that the demo version of the FIPI VPR in foreign languages \u200b\u200bis the prototype of the future basic exam.

The basic exam in the German language (as well as in other foreign languages) will consist of two parts - oral and written. Each part is checked and evaluated separately. In 2018, students in grades 11 can optionally perform either both parts, or only the written part. The oral part of the exam is carried out using special equipment. The duration of the exam is 1 hour (60 minutes).
