Section 1: Presentation and follow-up discussion
Presentation, interaction/responsiveness
In line
with the mark scheme for communication in the Presentation and follow-up
discussion: Presentation, interaction /responsiveness (AO4:S1 and S2), Level 3
and Level 4:
- The
candidate communicates
information that is sometimes detailed. And provides ideas and opinions.
- The candidate makes
some attempts to justify his answers.
- The candidate engages
in the conversation, has a good interaction with the teacher/examiner and
responds to most questions.
The candidate does
not fit into one level for all descriptors. While there is little detailed
information which is not presented in a logical and sequential manner, the
candidate interacts well and sometimes, very well, with the teacher/examiner,
and answers most questions in a satisfactory manner. Due to this positive and
successful interaction, the candidate is awarded Level 4.
Mark awarded = 7 out of 10
Language range
In line with the mark
scheme for Language range in the Presentation and follow-up discussion
(AO4:S3), Level 3:
The candidate does use some linking and cohesive devices to
connect a sequence of points. The only subordinate clauses
in this whole part are two weil sentences and a dass clause,
otherwise linking devices are very simple, for example:aber and
auch (e.g.: Fußball, ich hab
Fußball von ein junges Jahre gespielen, jetzt spiel ich es nicht, aber das
ist sehr, für mich das ist sehr gut Sport, das ist international, das ist in
Afrika, das ist in USA (English
pronunciation), das ist in Europe, das ist in Brasilien).
The candidate uses vocabulary which is appropriate to
the tasks, but, at times, is
lacking the words to express himself fully and then he fills in with English
words or attempts to Germanise words (like goen for gehen), so
for the second bullet, the performance is more Level 2 than Level 3).
However, there
is little repetition and hesitation, so a mark in Level
3 is appropriate.
Mark awarded = 5 out of 10
Language accuracy
In line with the mark scheme for Language
accuracy in the Presentation and follow-up discussion (AO4:S4), Level 2:
The main criterion
speaking for this candidate is that his errors rarely impede communication, although
a non-English speaker would struggle more to understand when he, too
frequently uses English words. (e.g.: Nein, nicht jetzt, aber ich
wolle, solle das machen. Ich wolle to ein Chelsea Match goen, weil ich lieb
Chelsea, und Dortmund auch, mein Onkel ist ein großes, großes Dortmund Fan, so
hopen wir …)
There are very few attempts to use more complex
grammar (the three simple subordinate clauses mentioned above are the only
exception), and errors in simple grammar also are quite frequent (e.g.: Ja,
er ist sehr groß, so in zehn Jahre wird wir sprechen nach
Cristiano Ronaldo noch).
