Following a Governmental decree announcing the inclusion of oral assessment in the foreign language exam within the Spanish University Entrance Examination to become effective in 2012, the authors set forth to analyse the possibilities of computerizing this exam and design a viable proposal to assess oral skills. To this end, a qualitative study with 286 participants was conducted. The results shed light on the initial acceptance of the technological solutions developed within a dedicated learning management system and on the feasibility of incorporating computerised oral assessment. Evidence that it is indeed possible to implement a computer-assisted foreign language exam adapted to the characteristics and requirements announced with regard to content, usability and security is also provided
