Its all a bit hazy now as it was 6 months ago, but the spoken english test is just that - the computer will read a series of sentences to you, and you have to correctly identify the meaning.
For example, the computer may say 'Every morning Mr Jones drives his car to work along the motorway before parking in the car park'
The multiple choice options would then be:
1) Mr Jones works at night
2) Mr Jones uses public transport to get to work
3) Mr Jones has is own car
4) Mr Jones is a plumber
Of those four statements, only one is right (No. 3 of course).
What they are testing is that you correctly understand spoken English and can translate it to the correct meaning.
The above example is probably a bit simplistic, but it gives you an idea of what they test. It is nothing to do with ATC, and all to do with understanding communciation in English.
There is no interview at stage 2, just the computer tests.
Hope that helps.
