Analytic assessment:

Valdemar: Use of language (vocabulary) = fluent, varied. Makes quite a few transfer errors from L1 to L2 Spelling = accurate, impeccable Syntax = some errors of misplacement of the subject and verb, doesnt make a lot of punctuations and puts in too many commas, some prepositional errors (e.i.I have been climbing in 5 years, instead of for) Grammar = switches back and forth between present time and past tense. Misses the ed in the past tense on the verb to climb and yet remembers it on other occasions. Overall assessment: Student writes in a cohesive language, shows great understanding of the learning objectives for the task (the genre-writing and the inclusion of some of the information and words provided in the text), and engages enthusiastically in the task. There are, however, some transfer errors (L1 to L2), and some misusage of the gerund tense. The language is good, but a bit unbalanced, repeated. Final grading = 7 Nico: Use of language (vocabulary) = too many transfer errors from the L1 to L2. If the person reading the essay isnt a Danish native speaker, they would lose track of the context of the story. A lot of repetition and use of the same words. Spelling = misspells many fundamental words (prepositions, verbs, personal nouns) Syntax = many break downs of sentence, due to misplacement of subject and verb. Uses a lot of commas instead of full stops. Grammar = uses almost only the present tense. Forgets the -ed endings indicating past tenses. Wrong use of personal nouns (my instead of me). Uses is for plural (i.e. are) Overall assessment: Student makes too many transfer errors from the mother tongue. The lexical frequency is very low and there is a lot of repetition.

He does, however, engages in the story and shows great understanding of the genre of the task. Final grading = 02 Stephanie: Use of language (vocabulary) = expresses herself almost fluently and varies her vocabulary. Very few transfer errors Spelling = impeccable.
