Communicative abilities

5. I managed to participate in the activity in a natural and spontaneous manner. I helped continue the dialogue by initiating, maintaining and elaborating as necessary. The fact that I was using a foreign language did not tangibly affect my ability to interact.

2. I was able to contribute a bit, but was unable to develop my role to any depth. The task was slightly beyond me.

4. My rate of delivery was globally appropriate.
3. My rate of delivery was reasonable - occasionally hesitant, or a bit too fast.
2. My rate of delivery was generally hesitant, or too fast (possibly because of nerves).

4. I made appropriate use of an adequate range of vocabulary.

1. I used very few structures other than the present tense and had very poor accuracy.

Pronunciation
