Assessment criteria - grade 1

Osallistut puhetilanteisiin mutta viestintäsi on katkonaista ja hidasta. Yrität kiertää viestintävaikeudet käyttämällä ei-kielellisiä keinoja tai turvautumalla muihin kieliin. Tarvitset runsaasti puhekumppanin apua. Lisäharjoittelu on tarpeen sanaston hallinnan, rakenteiden osaamisen ja ääntämisen parantamiseksi. (not translated)

Assessment criteria - grade 3

Pystyt puhumaan ymmärrettävästi ja selviydyt kohtalaisesti käsitellyistä tilanteista. Puhekumppanin apu on tarpeen. Viestinnässäsi on ajoittain epäröintiä. Sanaston ja rakenteiden käytössäsi sekä ääntämisessäsi on parannettavaa. (not translated)

Assessment criteria - grade 5

Pystyt ilmaisemaan itseäsi sujuvasti ja osallistumaan suulliseen keskusteluun käsitellyistä aiheista. Osallistut tilanteisiin aktiivisesti. Osaat käyttää eri tilanteissa sopivaa kieltä ja vaihtelevia idiomaattisia ilmauksia. Ääntämisesi on lähes virheetöntä. (not translated)
