General description:
- Learner can write a coherent, well-developed paragraph on a topic that is familiar and
relevant. Can join two or three paragraphs into a larger text but discourse structure
beyond a paragraph often seems awkward in textual cohesion and logical coherence of
information.
- Writing, although clear in ideas to the reader, contains errors and stylistically rigid
use of structures.
- Structures are increasingly complex to reflect agents - event relations and logical
relations of contrast, time, cause and reason, purpose and comment.
- When allowing a more personal creative expression in writing, learner often uses
compensatory strategies to express herself/himself more fully -
"overelaboration," literal translation, false cognates, circumlocution.
- Can write personal letters and simple routine business letters.
- Can take notes from clearly delivered prerecorded phone messages.
