Example1 Example2
Use of cue-card was minimal
Full and well organised use of content; lively delivery sustaining audience
interest; employs a wide range of language devices (e.g. tone, irony, emphasis)
accurately and sometimes eloquently.
Example

heavily.

is generally maintained; employs a good range of language devices (e.g. tone,
irony, emphasis) soundly.
Example
Read from scripted speech or PPT majority of time.
Did not meet/exceeded time frame.
Adequate use of content; delivery is secure but at times unimaginative, resulting
in some loss of audience interest; language devices (e.g. tone, irony, emphasis)
are used safely and appropriately.
Example
Read from script/PPT, did not engage with audience, hard to hear.
Did not meet/ exceeded the time frame by a large amount.
Content is thin or perhaps inconsistently used; delivery is not secure, resulting in
signifi cant loss of audience interest; limited employment of language devices
(e.g. tone, irony, emphasis) with some inaccuracy.
Example

Content is mostly undeveloped and/or very thin; delivery is weak and the
audience is generally lost; not able to use language devices (e.g. tone, irony,
emphasis) or devices used with serious error.
