| Level | Accuracy | Fluency | Comprehensibility |
| 6 | Pronunciation is only very slightly influenced by the mother tongue. Two or three minor grammatical or lexical errors. | Speaks without too great an effort with a fairly wide range of expression. Searches for words occasionally but only one or two unnatural pauses. | Easy for the listener to understand the speaker's intention and general meaning. Very few interruptions or clarifications required. |
| 5 | Pronunciation is slightly influenced by the mother tongue. A few minor grammatical and lexical errors, but most utterances are correct. | Has to make an effort at times to search for words. Nevertheless, smooth delivery on the whole and only a few unnatural pauses. | The speaker's intention and general meaning are fairly clear. A few interruptions by the listener for the sake of clarification are necessary. |
| 1 | Serious pronunciation errors as well as many "basic" grammatical and lexical errors. No evidence of having mastered any of the language skills and areas practised in the course. | Full of long and unnatural pauses. Very halting and fragmentary delivery. At times gives up making the effort. Very limited range of expression. | Hardly anything of what is said can be understood. Even when the listener makes a great effort or interrupts, the speaker is unable to clarify anything he seems to have said. |
