Muchambiguity, confusion and omission. Level of response minimal with only a fewrelevant phrases. Communication largely impaired. Time sequences rarely1-4correct. Largely incomprehensible with the exception of isolated items. Verydifficult to read.Main points of the task understood but some points totally misunderstood.Some major omissions with a degree of irrelevance and/or repetition. Level ofresponse fairly limited with little opinion and justification appropriate to thetask. Functions predominantly in simple, concrete sentences for the most part.5-8Some evidence of correct time sequences but mostly inconsistent and insecure.Just about comprehensible overall with, however, a marked degree ofambiguity. Not easy to read.Majority of task completed, however, with some significant omissions. Theremay be some irrelevance. Goes beyond a minimal response with someexpansion of ideas and straightforward opinion relevant to the task. Timesequences show a degree of ambiguity at times. Comprehensible overall with9-12some attempt to link the piece into a coherent whole. Ambiguous in placesespecially in more ambitious language. Tends to be somewhat predictable.Responds to nearly all of the task although there may be some omissions. Somerelevant expansion at times. Provides evidence of description, narration andopinion as appropriate to the task. Time sequences generally sound with13-16occasional lapses. A generally well structured piece of writing. A sound attemptoverall to link the piece into a coherent whole with, however, some lapses. Maybe a little pedestrian and predictable or somewhat over-ambitious at times.Responds fully and appropriately to the stimulus with excellent and relevantexpansion. Gives detailed descriptions, expresses and justifies opinions as17-20appropriate to the task. The time sequence is clear and unambiguous. Acoherent piece of writing which is pleasant to read.Quality of languageNo language worth of credit.A high level of inaccuracy with very frequent and basic errors in grammar,syntax and morphology. There may be the occasional correct phrase. Noawareness of tense concept/time reference. Vocabulary very basic with little orno evidence of correct use of basic structures. Communication is severelyimpaired overall. Extremely difficult to read.Mark01-3

Accuracy is inconsistent with frequent basic errors in grammar, syntax andmorphology. Simple, short sentences are sometimes correct, but very littlebeyond. Range of vocabulary and structure very limited. Use of tenseconcept/time reference limited and often inappropriate. Limited success inattempts at enhancement of fact with adjectives and/or adverbial phrases. Noteasy to read.Fairly accurate in simple language, however tends to be inconsistent inapplication of grammar, syntax and morphology when attempting more complexlanguage. Range of vocabulary, idiom and structure standard and somewhatpredictable. Some inconsistency in use of tense concept/time reference. Someattempts at subordination and sentence linking which are only partiallysuccessful. Attempts enhancement of fact with adjectives and/or adverbialphrases with moderate success. About half of what is written should be free ofmajor errors. Despite inaccuracies, the basic message is conveyed.Generally accurate and secure in grammar, syntax and morphology with somelapses. Accuracy less secure when more complex language is attempted. Uses agood range of vocabulary, idiom and structure, which are for the most partappropriate to the task. Attempts at more ambitious structures not alwayssuccessful. Generally a secure grasp of tense concept/time reference.Manipulates language to suit the task at hand, however with some errors. Awide range of vocabulary, idiom and structure may compensate for a lower levelof accuracy. Generally easy to read despite the errors.Predominantly accurate: free of all but minor errors in grammar, syntax andmorphology.

Excellent examples of subordination and appropriate use of morecomplex structures. Clear ability to manipulate language with a high degree ofaccuracy to suit the purpose.
