There is a lot of knowledge about the communication of Hungarian-speaking students, on the basis of experience, and also experimentally. The novelty of the present study is that it assesses the characteristics of students′ communication in a special speech situation corresponding to one of task types of the secondary school final examination in foreign languages. This study analyses the characteristics of texts produced in a semi-reproductive picture description task at the segmental level among secondary school students. Results show that in public education, even in secondary school, there is a need for a planned, conscious development of oral communication, for the growth of communication competence partly in the of mother tongue and partly in a foreign language.
