Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1)

In communication situations related to their field the student
• is able to cope in the most common general and specialised professional communication situations
• composes simple, though 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 their own field; however, inaccuracy and the influence of other languages may interfere with the delivery of the message.
• uses basic grammatical structures in a repetitious manner and partly incorrectly
• pronounces words mostly in a manner that can be understood, although the pronunciation deviates from that of the target language. Furthermore, the slow sentence rhythm makes the delivery of the message difficult.

Assessment criteria, good (3)

In communication situations related to their field the student
• succeeds relatively well in daily general and specialised professional discourse
• composes coherent texts that successfully communicate the intended meaning despite of grammatical errors and insufficient vocabulary
• takes initiative in familiar professional communication situations
• uses general and basic technical terminology of their own field relatively well; lapses may occur in the choice of words or grammatical structures, but these do not cause misunderstanding
• pronounces in a manner that can be understood; pauses in the sentence rhythm do not cause misunderstandings.

• is an active participant in professional communication situations and allows for the requirements of the situation; speaks fluently and effortlessly and takes the conversation partner into account
• uses technical and general terminology as well as grammatical structures diversely and almost without errors
