General description:

  • Learner can communicate orally in predictable contexts and within familiar topics of personal relevance, in common daily situations.
  • Follows broadly main ideas in formal and informal conversations at a slow speed, participates in basic conversations in routine social situations. May avoid topics (gaps in vocabulary).
  • Understands and uses everyday vocabulary and a very limited number of idioms. Understands routine (simple, repetitive, predictable) media announcements.
  • Structures are mostly simple, some fragmented, but varied. Grammar and pronunciation errors sometimes impede communication. Discourse is reasonably fluent when following predictable learned patterns.
  • Uses phone to communicate simple personal information.
