Part 2: Criteria for overall language performance (‘Quality of production’)
This part of the rating scale focuses on the candidates’ quality of language
performance on all activities of the speaking test. The criteria that make up the
second part of the scale correspond to the components of oral communicative ability
and are common across levels since they derive from a common theory of language
and a common view of communicative language ability. These include:
• Pronunciation and intonation: whether the candidate pronounces clearly,
stresses individual words correctly and uses appropriate intonation when
forming sentences.
• Lexical range and appropriacy of linguistic choices: whether the candidate
uses a sufficient range of vocabulary, appropriate for the situation as
determined by the question/task.
• Grammatical accuracy: whether the candidate uses the language accurately.
• Fluency: whether the candidate produces language with spontaneity and
with relative ease.
