  Assessment criteria

  Satisfactory

  Swedish:
  In communication situations related to his/her field the student
  • Manages in the most common general and specialised professional communication situations
  • Composes simple, partly incoherent texts. Language errors may impair understanding but do not prevent the delivery of the message
  • Participates in simple spoken interaction but often needs help from the conversation partner
  • Uses basic general and technical terminology of his/her own field; inaccuracy and the influence of other languages may interfere with the delivery of the message. Uses basic grammatical structures in a repetitious and partly incorrect manner
  • Pronounces in a mainly comprehensible manner, although the pronunciation deviates from the target language. The slow sentence rhythm makes it difficult to estimate if the message is delivered
