Advanced High
Speakers at the Advanced-High level perform all Advanced-level tasks with linguistic ease, confidence
and competence. They are able to consistently explain in detail and narrate fully and accurately in all time
frames. In addition, Advanced-High speakers handle the tasks pertaining to the Superior level but cannot
sustain performance at that level across a variety of topics. They can provide a structured argument to
support their opinions, and they may construct hypotheses, but patterns of error appear. They can discuss
some topics abstractly, especially those relating to their particular interests and special fields of expertise, but
in general, they are more comfortable discussing a variety of topics concretely. Advanced-High speakers
may demonstrate a well-developed ability to compensate for an imperfect grasp of some forms or for
limitations in vocabulary by the confident use of communicative strategies, such as paraphrasing,
circumlocution, and illustration. They use precise vocabulary and intonation to express meaning and often
show great fluency and ease of speech. However, when called on to perform the complex tasks associated
with the Superior level over a variety of topics, their language will at times break down or prove inadequate,
or they may avoid the task altogether, for example, by resorting to simplification through the use of
description or narration in place of argument or hypothesis.
