A method/device for evaluating oxygen sensor signals of an air supply channel connected to an exhaust gas channel of the internal combustion engine, via an exhaust gas recirculation having at least one exhaust gas recirculation valve; the oxygen sensor being downstream from the exhaust gas recirculation initiation; the sensor signal(s) being corrected as a function of at least one characteristics variable describing the dependence of the sensor signal on the oxygen concentration or a correlated variable, and/or additional physical variables. At at least one engine operating point(s), in response to a closed exhaust gas recirculation valve, output oxygen sensor signals and additional operating point parameters are recorded/stored; and an adaptation of the characteristic variables is derived assuming that the gas composition corresponds to pure air. Also, a characteristics curve adjustment and a compensation of pressure temperature dependencies may be performed to improve the accuracy of the oxygen sensor signals.
