Satisfactory 1

Communication with other participants have constant problems in dealing with understanding the main content of the language output because of major problems in expressing the main ideas by using correct words.

There are major problems in pronunciation and word and sentences stress together with intonation make it very difficult for the other participants to understand the speech. Interaction between the speaker with others is almost non-existent.

Satisfactory 2

The other participants in interactions have problems understanding the main content because there are many shortcomings in the use of key terms and concepts. The use of grammatical forms and structures is limited. There are several grammatical errors but the main message can be understood. At times, incorrect pronunciation, vague word and sentence stress and intonation impede intelligibility of the main message. Due to the shortcomings referred to above, the other participants in interactions have constant problems in understanding the language output. Hardly any interaction is created between the speaker and the other participants. The speaker has problems in understanding questions asked and, therefore, she/he has problems in answering the questions asked.
