GLOBAL IMPRESSION	Score	GRAMMAR ACCURACY	Score	VOCABULARY  USAGE	Score	PRONUNCIATION	Score
Adequacy of response to task; effectiveness of communication, content, expression		control of grammar		control of vocabulary		control of pronunciation
appropriate response to task / situation; all task demands met message clear consistently demonstrates understanding responds with thorough, thoughtful answers	40	structures used adequate and appropriate for task;  highly accurate; very few errors in morphology/syntax  errors do not compromise meaning	24	excellent rage of vocabulary fluent with few or no breaks or hesitations	24	Error-free intonation and pronunciation	10
appropriate response to task/situation; most task demands met message fairly clear usually demonstrates understanding responds with sufficient detail	35	structures used adequate and appropriate for task;  good control of major (basic) structures; some errors in morphology/syntax  few patterned errors errors do not appreciably compromise meaning	22	vocabulary range adequate for level and task fairly fluent with minor breaks or hesitations	22	Pronunciation free of major errors; intonation accurate	9
response to task / situation not completely appropriate; some task demands not adequately addressed parts of message unclear demonstrates some miscomprehension gives general narrow response	31	attempts made to use structures that are appropriate for task inconsistency and errors on major (basic) structures; syntactic/morphological errors some errors compromise meaning	19	word choice limited, relies on simple vocabulary performance characterized by hesitations or breaks	19	Pronunciation shows some major errors, intonation acceptable	8
attempt made to communicate; does not fulfill most task demands response to task / situation inappropriate  frequently demonstrates miscomprehension of details avoids using the target language, resorts to English or no response	28	attempts made to use structures that are appropriate for task  errors on major (basic) structures; syntactic/morphological errors patterned errors errors often compromise meaning	17	word choice inadequate for task or level performance characterized by hesitations or breaks	17	Pronunciation or intonation errors compromise understanding	7
almost none of responses appropriate to task/situation demonstrates global miscomprehension avoids using the target language, resorts to English or no response	24	little evidence of control of structures necessary for the task grammar highly inconsistent; predominated by errors/inaccuracies patterned errors errors severely compromise meaning	15	word choice inadequate for task or level performance characterized by major breaks and hesitations	15	Pronunciation or intonation errors compromise meaning	6
communication breakdown  no appropriate responses/questions or no attempt made to communicate	20	grammar control inadequate for task too little production to evaluate errors block meaning	13	word choice inadequate for task or level, too little production to evaluate	13	Pronunciation or intonation errors predominate, block meaning	5
