Relevant grammatical structures and sentence patterns
are determined by language functions appropriate to the task. Assumes a dialect and/or accent intelligible to the aeronautical community. Expert 6 Vocabulary rangeand accuracy aresufficient to communicateeffectively on awidevariety of familiar and unfamiliar topics. Vocabulary is idiomatic, nuanced, and sensitiveto register. Both basic and complex grammatical structures and sentencepatterns are consistently well controlled. Pronunciation, stress, rhythm, and intonation, though possibly influenced by thefirst languageor regional variation, almost never interferewith easeof understanding. Ableto speak at length with anatural, effortless flow. Varies speech flow for stylistic effect, e.g. to emphasizeapoint. Uses appropriatediscoursemarkers and connectors spontaneously.

Is sensitiveto verbal and non-verbal cues, and responds to themappropriately. Extended 5 Vocabulary rangeand accuracy aresufficient to communicateeffectively on common, concrete, and work related topics. Paraphrases consistently and successfully. Vocabulary is sometimes idiomatic. Basic grammatical structures and sentence patterns areconsistently well controlled. Complex structures areattempted but with errors which sometimes interferewith meaning. Pronunciation, stress, rhythm, and intonation, though influenced by thefirst languageor regional variation, rarely interferewith ease of understanding. Ableto speak at length with relativeeaseon familiar topics, but may not vary speech flow as astylistic device. Can makeuseof appropriatediscoursemarkers or connectors. Comprehension is accurateon common, concrete, and work related topics and mostly accuratewhen thespeaker is confronted with alinguistic or situational complication or an unexpected turn of events. Is ableto comprehend arangeof speech varieties (dialect and/or accent) or registers. Responses areimmediate, appropriate, and informative. Manages thespeaker/listener relationship effectively. Operational 4 Vocabulary rangeand accuracy areusually sufficient to communicateeffectively on common, concrete, and work related topics. Can often paraphrasesuccessfully when lacking vocabulary in unusual or unexpected circumstances. Basic grammatical structures and sentence patterns areused creatively and areusually well controlled. Errors may occur, particularly in unusual or unexpected circumstances, but rarely interferewith meaning. Pronunciation, stress, rhythm, and intonation areinfluenced by thefirst languageor regional variation but only sometimes interferewith easeof understanding. Produces stretches of languageat an appropriatetempo. Theremay beoccasional loss of fluency on transition fromrehearsed or formulaic speech to spontaneous interaction, but this does not prevent effective communication. Can makelimited useof discoursemarkers or connectors. Fillers are not distracting. Comprehension is mostly accurateon common, concrete, and work related topics when theaccent or variety used is sufficiently intelligiblefor an international community of users. When thespeaker is confronted with a linguistic or situational complication or an unexpected turn of events, comprehension may beslower or requireclarification strategies. Responses areusually immediate, appropriate, and informative. Initiates and maintains exchanges even when dealing with an unexpected turn of events. Deals adequately with apparent misunderstandings by checking, confirming, or clarifying.

Elementary 2 Limited vocabulary rangeconsisting only of isolated words and memorized phrases. Shows only limited control of afew simple memorized grammatical structures and sentencepatterns. Pronunciation, stress, rhythm, and intonation areheavily influenced by thefirst languageor regional variation and usually interferewith easeof understanding. Can producevery short, isolated, memorized utterances with frequent pausing and a distracting useof fillers to search for expressions and to articulateless familiar words. Comprehension is limited to isolated, memorized phrases when they arecarefully and slowly articulated. Responsetimeis slow, and often inappropriate.
