Relevance and Appropriacy of Response, Coherence and Structure

The response addresses the task set and is fully appropriate.


Communication is clear and managed through markers such as
however, whereas and although. Discrete elements are connected using
simple markers and cause no confusion to the reader. Errors in
structure, paragraphing, cohesion and coherence are minimal.
Candidate’s response may not be directly related to the issue set out in
the task or the response may not have addressed all bullet points.
Communication is generally clear and ideas may be linked using a
limited number of simple cohesive markers. Errors in structure,
paragraphing, cohesion and coherence are evident but generally do not
cause a strain on the reader.
Candidate’s responses may be minimal in length and content.
Candidate’s responses 1 may not be wholly related to the task, or the
message may be unclear and communicate little to the reader. Where
candidate responses are substantially short, off topic or do not address
the task in any way, a maximum of 1 mark should be awarded.

is not attempted.

Grammar: Accuracy and Range


Attempts a mix of simple and complex forms, some of which are
successful. Routine, straightforward expressions are accurate, and errors
do not impede communication. More complex structures may be
attempted but not always successfully. Punctuation is simple but
accurate.
Routine, simple and formulaic expressions are generally used with some
accuracy. Errors may be more noticeable in number and may impede
communication. Where complex structures are attempted, errors are
frequent. There may be minor errors in punctuation which do not
generally affect comprehension of message.
Uses only a limited range of structures. Errors are frequent in all but the
simplest of sentences. Basic sentence grammar is lacking. Punctuation is
inconsistent, often impeding communication. Where candidate responses
are substantially short, off topic or do not address the task in any way, a
maximum of 1 mark should be awarded.

Vocabulary: Accuracy and Range


The response shows a wide range of relevant everyday
vocabulary used appropriately. Vocabulary is generally
accurate when dealing with everyday topics. Spelling is
generally accurate and any errors do not impede
communication.
A more limited range of vocabulary, although still used
appropriately and sufficient to complete the task. There
are spelling errors, however these do not generally impede
communication.
Vocabulary is limited, repetitive and frequently fails to
convey meaning satisfactorily. Errors in spelling cause
difficulty for the reader. Where candidate responses are
