Grammar & Vocabulary

Excellent

Language is entirely accurate and may show humorous features of the language (puns, metaphors, etc). Speaker has excellent control of language and is able to express complex ideas clearly and in an interesting way.
Good

Speaker is mostly accurate and appropriate and is able to express their ideas clearly. The listener has no problem understanding the speaker.
Fair

The speaker makes a number of lexical and grammatical errors and may depend too much on rehearsed phrases. The listener feels on occasion that they would like to interrupt to help the speaker find the correct word, expression, or structure.
Poor

The speaker has difficulty expressing himself in anything other than short sentences. There are frequent hesitations or pauses while the speaker searches for the language he needs to express himself.
Fluency

Excellent

Delivery is natural and fluent.
Good

Delivery is fairly fluent, apart from the odd occasion when the speaker has forgotten a word, or has to think about a grammatical structure. The listener does not feel the need to prompt the speaker.
Fair

There is a degree of fluency, but the speaker hesitates often to process what he are going to say next. The listener may feel they want to hurry the speaker along.
Poor

Delivery is stilted and faltering. The listener often feels the need to hurry the speaker along with prompts or interruptions.
Pronunciation

Excellent

The speaker articulates sounds clearly and correctly, and speaks with the appropriate word stress and intonation. The listener has no problems understanding what is being said. There are probably features of an accent, but they do not detract from understanding.
Good

There is some influence of the first language on the speaker's articulation of sounds. Overall, this does not detract from what the speaker is saying and poses no comprehension problems.
Fair

At times the listener has to work hard to understand what is being said.
Poor

Pronunciation of words, word stress and/or intonation is so strongly influenced by the first language that the listener has frequent problems recognizing what the speaker is trying to say.
Extended Discourse Management

Excellent

The speaker uses sophisticated language and/or strategies to guide the listener through the talk. The listener is fully able to follow the thread of what the speaker is saying.
Good

The speaker uses standard textbook language to guide the listener through the talk, which is well organized.
Fair

The speaker doesn't signpost all sections of presentation. The listener is able to follow the direction of the talk, but will have to interpret the flow and make assumptions about what the speaker is trying to say.
Poor

The speaker places a heavy burden on the listener to follow the thread of the presentation, which is disorganized and incoherent.
Content

Excellent

The speaker brings in everyday examples, memorable stories, or anecdotes to make the content more relevant or interesting to the listener.
Good

The speaker brings in relevant content to make the content interesting to the listener.
Fair

The content is fairly predictable and expected - the listener may be fairly interested, but is left feeling the speaker could have included more interesting subject matter.
Poor

Content is uninteresting or completely unrelated to the topic.
