This document outlines criteria for assessing oral proficiency at different levels from 1 to 5. It describes the global tasks, functions, context/content, accuracy of text type, and elicitation techniques expected at each level. Level 5 indicates a high level of proficiency with narration and description across major time frames on topics of personal interest or current events. Level 1 indicates no verbal communication ability and identification of only a few nouns. The criteria provide benchmarks for evaluating oral language skills at varying stages of development.
