Once your assignment has been corrected, your teacher will select from the descriptors below the
option that most accurately reflects the level of your written and oral production based on your
performance throughout this course.
About your oral production
You can cope with most of the situations that
may appear in everyday life in relation to the
content developed in this course. Your speech
is consistent with good use of vocabulary,
idioms, collocations, and connectors. Your
fluency and accuracy correspond to what is
expected at this stage.
Keep it up!
You can cope with a certain degree of
effectiveness in everyday situations in relation
to the content developed in this course.
Although your speech is coherent, it is still a
bit limited in idioms, vocabulary, collocations,
and connectors. You should continue working
on precision and fluency to achieve more
effective communication in relation to what is
expected at this stage.
Keep on working!
Although you can communicate in some
situations of daily life, you still find it difficult
to produce some of the content developed
throughout this course. It is important that
you continue working on how to communicate
effectively. Intensive work needs to be done in
developing fluency and accuracy to meet
future challenges and to achieve your
proposed goals.
Let's keep working!
About your written production
You can produce coherent and cohesive texts.
You manage to express ideas easily and clearly
which enables effective communication. Very
good use of vocabulary, connectors and
grammatical structures that we have analysed
and worked with during this course.
Keep it up!
You can write simple texts with a certain level of
coherence and cohesion. Although the message
is clear, it would still be necessary to include
more specific vocabulary and more complex
structures. In doing so, your written
communication will be more accurate and will
reflect what is expected at this stage.
Keep on working!
You can write basic texts with a certain degree
of difficulty. On the whole, your written
production expresses the ideas you want to
convey, but communication tends to be a bit
confusing at times. It is very important to
include more complex structures, connectors
and new lexical areas. You should also focus on
accuracy to make your writing a lot clearer for
the reader.
Let's keep working!
