Descriptors – Interaction Spoken (IS)

EBCL A1-A2 Interaction Spoken CDS (demo copy)

Examples:

Solely function-related:

C-IS1-A1.1-1 / E-IS1-A1.1-1 Can interact in a simple way but communication is totally dependent on repetition at a slower rate of speech, rephrasing and repair. (p1)

dependent on repetition at a slower rate of speech, rephrasing and repair. (p1)

Modification (addition):

C-IS1-A1.1-2 / E-IS1-A1.2-1 Can ask and answer simple questions, initiate and respond to simple statements in areas of immediate need or on very familiar topics (e.g. school, family, occupation) with interlocutor’s help. (p1)

Complementation:

E-IS1-A2.2-4 Can handle short social exchanges and make oneself understood with

help. [ELP-IS1-A2 n392-29.2002-CERCLES] (p3)

Descriptors – Interaction Spoken (IS)

EBCL A1-A2 Interaction Spoken CDS (demo copy)

Examples (continued):

Split of CEFR CDS into two EBCL CDS:

C-IS2-A1.1-1 / E-IS2-A1.1-1 Can understand questions and instructions addressed carefully and slowly to him/her. (p3)

addressed carefully and slowly to him/her. (p3) C-IS2-A1.1-1 / E-IS2-A1.2-2 Can follow short simple directions (e.g. getting at a location). (p4)

Re-position:

C-IS2-A2.1-2 / E-IS2-A2.2 -3 Can be made to understand, if the speaker can take the

trouble. (p5)

Addition:

E-IS5-A2.1-2 Can understand and re-tell the main topic of a formal discussion

n familiar topics. (p10)

No679-SI3-A1/19.2001-SWE] (p2)

Complementation and translation:

E-CSI3-A1.2-3 Je peux demander à quelqu'un d'épeler un mot que je ne comprends pas ou que je ne connais pas. [ELP Descriptor No678-SI3-A1/44.2003-FR/Coll.] Can ask someone to explain a word one does not understand or does not know. [translation] (p3)

Addition:
