 ASSESSMENT CRITERIA

Candidates are assessed according to the following four analytical criteria: grammar and
vocabulary, discourse management, pronunciation and interactive communication. Assessment
is based on performance in the whole test and not in particular parts of the test.

Grammar and Vocabulary

This refers to the good control of simple grammatical forms and use of a range of appropriate
vocabulary when talking about familiar topics. Performance is assessed in terms of the overall
effectiveness of the language used in spoken interaction.

Discourse Management
This refers to the ability to produce responses which are extended beyond short phrases, despite
some hesitation. Contributions should be mostly relevant to the tasks. Performance also shows
the ability to use basic cohesive devices.

Pronunciation
This refers to the ability to produce comprehensible utterances to fulfill the task requirements.
This includes some control of intonation, sentence and word stress as well as individual sounds.

Interactive communication
This refers to candidates’ ability to use language to achieve meaningful communication. This
includes initiating and responding appropriately and the ability to maintain and develop the
interaction with very little support.

Marks for each of the criteria are awarded out of a ten-point scale.

Part 1 (Social Interaction): 3.0 marks

Part 2 (Dialogue): 4.0 marks
Part 3 (Follow-up Discussion): 3.0 marks
