B and Sc ore Task Achievement Coherence & Cohesion Lexical Resource Grammatical Range & Accuracy 4 The response is an attempt to address the task.
(Academic) Few key features have been selected.
(General Training) Not all bullet points are presented. (General Training) The purpose of the letter is not clearly explained and may
be confused.
The tone may be inappropriate. The format may be inappropriate. Key features/bullet points which are presented may be irrelevant, repetitive,
inaccurate or inappropriate.
Information and ideas are evident but not
arranged coherently, and there is no clear
progression within the response.
Relationships between ideas can be unclear
and/or inadequately marked. There is some
use of basic cohesive devices, which may be
inaccurate or repetitive.
There is inaccurate use or a lack of
substitution or referencing.
The resource is limited and inadequate for
or
unrelated to the task. Vocabulary is basic and
may be used repetitively.
There may be inappropriate use of lexical chunks
(e.g. memorised phrases, formulaic language
and/or language from the input material).
Inappropriate word choice and/or errors in word
formation and/or in spelling may impede
meaning.
A very limited range of structures is
used.
Subordinate clauses are rare and simple sentences predominate. Some structures are produced accurately
but grammatical errors are frequent and
may impede meaning.
Punctuation is often faulty or inadequate.
3 The response does not address the requirements of the task (possibly because
of misunderstanding of the data/diagram/situation).
Key features/bullet points which are presented may be largely irrelevant.
Limited information is presented, and this may be used repetitively.
There is no apparent logical organisation.
Ideas are discernible but difficult to relate
to each other.
Minimal use of sequencers or cohesive
devices. Those used do not necessarily
indicate a logical relationship between
ideas.
There is difficulty in identifying referencing.
The resource is inadequate (which may be due to
the response being significantly underlength).
Possible over-dependence on input material or
memorised language.
Control of word choice and/or spelling is very
limited, and errors predominate. These errors may
severely impede meaning.
Sentence forms are attempted, but
errors in grammar and punctuation
predominate (except in memorised
phrases or those taken from the input
material). This prevents most meaning
from coming through.
