| 10 | • speaks fluently with only rare repetition or self-correction; • any hesitation is content-related rather than to find words or grammar • speaks coherently with fully appropriate cohesive features • develops topics fully and appropriately | • uses vocabulary with full flexibility and precision in all topics • uses idiomatic language naturally and accurately | • uses a full range of structures naturally and appropriately • produces consistently accurate structures apart from ‘slips’ characteristic of native speaker speech | uses a full range of pronunciation features with precision and subtlety • sustains flexible use of features throughout • is effortless to understand |
| 8 | • speaks fluently with only occasional repetition or selfcorrection; hesitation is usually content-related and only rarely to search for language • develops topics coherently and appropriately | • uses a wide vocabulary resource readily and flexibly to convey precise meaning • uses less common and idiomatic vocabulary skilfully, with occasional inaccuracies • uses paraphrase effectively as required | • uses a full range of structures naturally and appropriately • produces consistently accurate structures apart from ‘slips’ characteristic of native speaker speech | uses a wide range of pronunciation features • sustains flexible use of features, with only occasional lapses • is easy to understand throughout; L1 accent has minimal effect on intelligibility |
| 6 | speaks at length without noticeable effort or loss of coherence • may demonstrate language-related hesitation at times, or some repetition and/or self-correction • uses a range of connectives and discourse markers with some flexibility | • uses vocabulary resource flexibly to discuss a variety of topics • uses some less common and idiomatic vocabulary and shows some awareness of style and collocation, with some inappropriate choices • uses paraphrase effectively | uses a range of complex structures with some flexibility • frequently produces error-free sentences, though some grammatical mistakes persist | • uses a range of pronunciation features with mixed control • shows some effective use of features but this is not sustained |
| 4 | • is willing to speak at length, though may lose coherence at times due to occasional repetition, self-correction or hesitation • uses a range of connectives and discourse markers but not always appropriately | has a wide enough vocabulary to discuss topics at length and make meaning clear in spite of inappropriacies • generally paraphrases successfully | uses a mix of simple and complex structures, but with limited flexibility • may make frequent mistakes with complex structures though these rarely cause comprehension problems | uses a range of pronunciation features with mixed control • shows some effective use of features but this is not sustained • can generally be understood throughout, though mispronunciation of individual words or sounds reduces clarity at times |
| 0-2 | • usually maintains flow of speech but uses repetition, self correction and/or slow speech to keep going • may over-use certain connectives and discourse markers • produces simple speech fluently, but more complex communication causes fluency problems | manages to talk about familiar and unfamiliar topics but uses vocabulary with limited flexibility • attempts to use paraphrase but with mixed success | produces basic sentence forms with reasonable accuracy • uses a limited range of more complex structures, but these usually contain errors and may cause some comprehension problems | can generally be understood throughout, though mispronunciation of individual words or sounds reduces clarity at times |
