B2 |
MAIN IDEAS |
- Synthesizes and evaluates information and arguments from all of the verbal and nonverbal input texts.
|
COHERENCE |
- Organized as a coherent response to the task; organization of ideas within and across paragraphs is generally clear, though may be formulaic.
|
COHESION |
- Uses discourse markers and referential cohesive devices effectively to mark the relationship between sentences and link utterances into clear, coherent discourse.
|
LEXICAL RANGE & ACCURACY |
- Uses appropriate synonyms and alternative expressions to convey the main ideas.
|
GRAMMATICAL RANGE & ACCURACY |
- Uses a range of sentence structures appropriately; grammatical errors rarely occur and do not impede understanding of the message.
|
B1 |
MAIN IDEAS |
- Provides a basic summary of some of the main points, bringing together information from more than one of the input texts.
|
COHERENCE |
- Has a logical structure but the organization of ideas may not always be clear; organized into paragraphs, but the paragraph structure may not be completely appropriate.
|
COHESION |
- Sentences and paragraphs are generally connected using discourse markers; use of referential cohesive devices (for example, pronominal reference) is mostly clear.
|
LEXICAL RANGE & ACCURACY |
- Gives a basic description of the main ideas in the input texts, but tends to rely on the vocabulary supplied in the input texts. Some inappropriate vocabulary usage is evident.
|
GRAMMATICAL RANGE & ACCURACY |
- Grammatical errors occur frequently but tend to be associated with attempts at complex structures and do not impede communication of the message.
|
A2 |
MAIN IDEAS |
- The response refers to some of the elements or points mentioned in one or more of the input texts (verbal and/or non-verbal), but does not synthesize these points or make clear how they are related.
|
COHERENCE |
- No logical paragraph structure or some separation which is not appropriate; text consists of mainly unconnected sentences with no clear direction or progression across sentences.
|
COHESION |
- Uses conjunctions to link clauses within sentences, but generally does not mark clearly the relationship between sentences. Use of referential cohesive devices (for example, pronominal reference) is generally not clear.
|
LEXICAL RANGE & ACCURACY |
- Usage of paraphrasing and synonyms is extremely limited, and alternatives are not appropriate for the task. Errors and unnatural/inappropriate usage common when reusing vocabulary from the input texts.
|
GRAMMATICAL RANGE & ACCURACY |
- Grammatical errors occur systematically and may impede communication of the message.
|
