Low Excellence

Commentary

For Excellence, the student needs to interact using effective spoken Japanese to communicate information and justify ideas and opinions in different situations. Interactions need to give explanations or provide evidence to support their own views and/or the views of others.

Effective Japanese will be shown by a range of language that is consistently fit for the context, and by skilful selection from a repertoire of language features and strategies to maintain the interaction.

Communication will not be hindered by inconsistencies.

In all recordings the assessed student is the boy. He speaks first in Interaction 1, and second in Interactions 2 and 3.

The student communicates information by giving explanations and providing evidence to support his own views, e.g. ¤¿¤«¤¹¤®¤ë¤È˼¤¤¤Þ¤¹¤­¤½¤¯¤¬¤¹¤³¤·¤¢¤ë¤«¤é¤ä¤µ¤·¤¤¤È˼¤¤¤Þ¤¹.

A range of language has been used that is not only consistently fit for the context but which shows a skilful selection from a repertoire of language features and strategies which enable the interaction to be maintained, e.g. ¤¿¤À¤·¤¤¤»¤¤¤Õ¤¯¤ò¤­¤Ê¤±¤ì¤Ð¤Ê¤é¤Ê¤¤¡­¤¹¤ë¤³¤È¤¬¤¹¤­¤Ç¤¹ and¤·¤Ê¤¤¤ÇϤµ¤¤.

Communication is not hindered by inconsistencies.

For a more secure Excellence, there would be additional evidence of a repertoire of language such as fillers, seeking clarification, and inviting agreement or disagreement to maintain and sustain the interactions. Asking questions is evidence of one strategy only.

Commentary

For Merit, the student needs to interact using convincing spoken Japanese to communicate information and justify ideas and opinions in different situations. Interactions need to give explanations or provide evidence to support their own views and/or the views of others.

Convincing Japanese will be shown by a range of language that is fit for the context, and by generally successful selection from a repertoire of language features and strategies to support the interaction.

Communication will not be significantly hindered by inconsistencies.

The assessed student speaks first in Interaction 1, second in Interaction two, and first in Interaction 1.

The student communicates information by giving explanations and providing evidence to support their views, e.g.¤·¤ç¤¦¤é¤¤¤³¤È¤«¤ó¤¬¤¨¤Ã¤¿¤³¤È¤¢¤ë, ´óѧ¤ËÐФ¯¤Ä¤â¤ê¤À¤èÈÕê×Èդϥͥåȥܩ`¥ë¤Î¤ì¤ó¤·¤å¤¦¤¬¤¢¤ë¤ó¤À´óѧ¤ËÐФ­¤¿¤¤¤Î¤Ç¤ª½ð¤¬¤Ò¤Ä¤è¤¦¤Ç¤¹¤Ç¤â¤ª½ð, ¤½¤¦ and ¤¿¤á¤Ê¤±¤ì¤Ð¤Ê¤ê¤Þ¤»¤ó.

A range of language has been provided that is fit for the context, and there is evidence of language and strategies which support the interactions. For example, the student is able to self correct so that communication is achieved: ¤«¤¤¤³¤¯¡­Íâ¹ú¡­ÈÕ±¾ÕZ¤È¥¹¥Ú¥¤¥óÕZ¤Ê¤é¤¤¤¿¤¤¤ó¤À¥Ï¥ó¥Ð©`¥¬¤ò¤Ä¤±¤Æ¤¤¤Þ¤¹¡­¤Ä¤¯¤Ã¤Æ¤¤¤Þ¤¹, and also uses fillers and agreements such as ¤½¤¦¤Ê¤Î¤¨¤¨, ¤¹¤´¤¤¤Í, ¤¹¤ß¤Þ¤»¤ó and ¥¢¥ë¥Ð¥¤¥È¤Ç¤ª¤¯¤ì¤Þ¤·¤¿.

To reach Excellence, inconsistencies will not impact on communication of the message, e.g. ¤ï¤¿¤·¤Ï¤­¤á¤Æ¤Ê¤¤¤±¤É, ¤ª¤â¤·¤í¤¤¤È¤ª¤â¤¤¤è, ¥Þ¥¯¥É¥Ê¥ë¥É¤Ç¥Ï¥ó¥Ð©`¥¬©`¤ò¤Ä¤±¤Æand¤Ä¤«¤Ã¤Æ¤¤¤Þ¤¹.

Commentary

For Merit, the student needs to interact using convincing spoken Japanese to communicate information and justify ideas and opinions in different situations. Interactions need to give explanations or provide evidence to support their own views and/or the views of others.

Convincing Japanese will be shown by a range of language that is fit for the context, and by generally successful selection from a repertoire of language features and strategies to support the interaction.

Communication will not be significantly hindered by inconsistencies.

The assessed student speaks second in all Interactions.

The student communicates information by giving explanations and providing evidence to support their own views, e.g. ÏÈÉú¤Ï¤ß¤ó¤Ê¤¤¤¤ÈˤʤΤǤ¿¤Î¤·¤¤¤Ç¤¹.

There is a natural segue between the first interaction (weekend activity of going to a Department store) and the second interaction (the Department store and talking about what was bought).

There is a range of language that is fit for the context, and generally successful selection from a repertoire of language features and strategies to support the interaction, e.g.ÙI¤¦¤Ä¤â¤ê¤Ç¤¹, ¤¢¤¿¤¿¤«¤¤¤È˼¤¤¤Þ¤¹, ¤ª½ð¤¬¤¹¤³¤·¤À¤±¤¢¤ë.

There is some evidence that the student self-corrects, e.g. ¤ä¤µ¤¤ to ¤ä¤¹¤¤ .

For a more secure Merit, there would be less impact on the communication of the message from inconsistencies such as Ò»·¬ºÃ¤­¤Êsinger¤Ç¤¹.

Also, there could be additional evidence of a range of language features and strategies to maintain the interaction.

Low Achieved

Commentary

For Achieved, the student needs to interact using spoken Japanese to communicate information and justify ideas and opinions in different situations. Interactions need to provide evidence to support their own views and/or the views of others.

Communication will be achieved overall, despite inconsistencies.

The assessed student speaks second in Interaction 1, first in Interaction 2 and second in Interaction 3.

Information is communicated, e.g. ¤¢¤á¤¬¤Õ¤ë¤È¤­¤Ë, ¤Ù¤ó¤­¤ç¤¦¤¹¤ë¤Ä¤â¤ê¤Ç¤¹and ¤¨¤¤¤¬¤ËÐФ¯¤¬¤¹¤­¤Ç¤¹, and there is evidence of the use of appropriate fillers, e.g.¤½¤¦¤Ç¤¹¤«, ¤½¤¦¤Ç¤¹, ¤¨¤Ã¤È.

For a more secure Achieved, interactional strategies could be used more effectively to clarify a question, e.g.¤â¤¦¤¤¤¤¤Á¤É¤¤¤Ã¤ÆÏ¤µ¤¤, ¤¹¤ß¤Þ¤»¤ó and ¤ï¤«¤ê¤Þ¤»¤ó¤Ç¤·¤¿, especially when the speaker has not understood the question. This would avoid giving an answer that is not always relevant.

Further, for a more secure Achieved inconsistencies would have less impact on communication of the message, e.g. ¤¢¤ß¤¹¤­¤¸¤ã¤Ê¤¤, ´óѧ¤Ë¤Ï¤¤¤Ê¤¬¤é, ¤»¤¤¤²¤Ä¤Ë, ¤Ç¤Ï¤¿¤é¤­¤Þ¤¹ and ¤Ä¤È¤á¤Þ¤¹.

For Achieved, the student needs to interact using spoken Japanese to communicate information and justify ideas and opinions in different situations. Interactions need to provide evidence to support their own views and/or the views of others.

Communication will be achieved overall, despite inconsistencies.

The student being assessed speaks first in all Interactions.

To reach Achieved, communication would not be hindered by inconsistencies such as partial sentences, e.g. ¥Ñ¥¯¥ó¥»¥Ö and ¤Ç¤Ï¤¿¤é¤¤.

For Achieved, there needs to be evidence of additional mastery of language at this level in order to ensure that the interaction is comprehensible.
