details. Anna can handle many different types of content during listening activities.
Anna is an outstanding oral communicator and she has improved very quickly since the

every day.
Her vocabulary covers a very broad range of different topics and contexts. She is also able to
deploy words accurately and appropriately when communicating.
Anna has been an enthusiastic member of the class and she worked extremely hard during
lessons.
She took advantage of homework to consolidate her learning and she was a lively participant in
activities with other students.
Gustavo finds spoken communication hard but he is progressing at a good rate.
He speaks with a moderate level of accuracy and now needs to work on communicating with
greater fluency.
He should pay close attention to pronunciation when learning vocabulary.
Gustavo has a good command of grammar and he has obviously learnt from the material
presented in class.
His knowledge and understanding of different structures is adequate. He also uses the
structures he knows correctly in conversation and on paper.
Gustavo has developed a fair-sized vocabulary for this level and he has learnt many new words
during lessons. Nevertheless, his vocabulary needs to cover a bigger range of different topics
and contexts. On the other hand, he understands quite well how to deploy words naturally and
accurately.
Gustavo has been a reasonably active member of the class and he worked moderately hard
during lessons. He completed his homework to a satisfactory standard and he made helpful
contributions during class activities.
Weak student
m-reading to pick up the main ideas of a text. Tom currently finds scanning for detail
challenging and he ought to practise reading texts carefully to understand their meaning.
Tom has been writing to a reasonable standard during this course but he has made limited
progress in this area. He must practise in order to make his writing more coherent but he spells
familiar words with reasonable accuracy. He now needs to ensure his work is properly
punctuated.
Listening is an area in which Tom is not yet confident and he must try to make more progress in
order to maximise his ability. However, he can understand the basic meaning of easier listening
scripts and he must now pay more attention to important details. Furthermore, Tom would
benefit from expanding the range of audio material he can handle.
Tom expresses himself adequately when speaking and he has improved steadily since the
beginning of the course. Despite that, he must start to minimise errors in his speaking while
practising to develop a more natural pace and rhythm. A little more study of pronunciation
would also be worthwhile
Tom does not yet have sufficient command of grammar and he has not absorbed new material
effectively. He needs to increase his understanding of grammatical rules and constructions. He
should also practise using the structures he knows correctly in conversation and on paper.
Tom's English is currently limited by his weak vocabulary but he is progressively adding new
words to it. Nevertheless, he needs to broaden his vocabulary to enable him to cope in a
greater variety of contexts. He also ought to practise using the words he knows in an
appropriate and natural way.
