Your decision to conduct oral examinations is reasonable. Oral tests allow you to assess many of the learners' skills, such as:
  1. Presentation skills
  2. Information organization skills
  3. Research and information-finding skills
You can explain these benefits to gain the learners' agreement. I believe they will understand. As for other broader issues, I think they are also important, but more suitable for discussion rather than immediate practice.
From a personal standpoint, I support guiding learners to use ChatGPT. Tools like ChatGPT or AI in general are part of a modern trend. Learners need to train themselves to adapt to the times, rather than sticking to a fixed method. I believe that is one of the core goals of education.
