How do you name this action?
It's school day, you're in the class and your teacher asks you to come next his desk and to say the lesson or to answer his questions? How do you name it? Oral test or interrogation? Can I say "Today the English teacher has questioned me for a whole hour"?

Some people would say, "The teacher gave me an oral EXAM"
Other people would say, "The teacher put me through a DRILL. I had to answer questions for an hour".

An interrogation would be the type of questioning done by the police , the military, or a spy agency like the CIA. "To question someone" most usually means "to doubt someone", or it could be a less severe form of interrogation. "The teacher gave me an oral exam" is good, but perhaps the simplest thing to say is that the teacher asked you questions in English for an hour. Notice that "to question" is not the same as "to ask questions".

Martina, note that 'give a test' is only used by speakers of Indian English. It is NOT standard English.
In standard English: teachers give tests, students 'do' or 'take' tests.

US English:
* An "oral exam" is a test where the teacher asks the questions out loud and you have to answer them by speaking rather than writing. This would only be an oral exam if *everyone* in the class had to do this, it was a significant portion of your grade, and today was just your turn. Then you would say "I had an oral exam today. It lasted the whole hour." But if it wasn't a test, you would not call it an oral exam.
* When the teacher asks you a question during class, we'll say "The teacher called on me today." This usually does not last for a long time, only a question or two. (There are some exceptions for some kinds of graduate schools where being called on lasts an hour. But for most schools, the teacher only calls on you for a very short time.)
In your situation, I would say "The teacher called on me and wouldn't stop. I was grilled for a whole hour." or "I got called on today and had to answer questions for the whole hour."
* Many (perhaps most) teachers do not ask students to go to the front of the room to answer questions. Students often answer questions from their desks.
