雅思口语评分考察标准解析

 口语考试考查什么？和大家分享一下口语考试时，考官对考生的考察点~~非常具体的哦~

Pronunciation

• Overall, clear and understandable pronunciation is the main thing.

• Secondly, the correct use of the following features will determine the pronunciation grade:

• basic word pronunciation;

• linked speech sounds;

• correct and appropriate sentence stress (i.e., which word or words in a sentence are stressed more than others); and,

• appropriate use of intonation (rising and falling) to emphasize meaning.

• Slightly inaccurate (= unclear) pronunciation is usually understandable if the correct words and grammar are used but slightly inaccurate pronunciationcombined with other errors can result in language that is not understandable at all.

• American pronunciation is acceptable.

Grammar

• Basic grammar, especially the verb tenses. Know how to make the tenses and use them correctly.

• Complex sentences:  Don't just use simple sentences all the time. Instead, often use sentences composed of parts that are joined together with conjunctions and other linking words. (This is a "must" for a Band 6 or above in this sub-score.)

• Complex structures:  Show that you have some knowledge of higher level grammar.

Vocabulary

• Show a wide range of vocabulary.

• Use words suitably – don't try to impress with 'impressive' words you are not sure of.

• Make sure you correctly pronounce words – don't just learn the written form of new words.

Fluency

• Speed – push yourself to speak a little faster but only if your pronunciation is good.

• Continuity – avoid unnaturally long pauses especially in Part 2.

• Smoothness – use linked pronunciation and use contractions.

Coherence

• Expand your answers with a suitable amount of relevant extra information (detail).

• Use connectives to link sentences especially when expressing more complex ideas. (This is a "must" for a Band 6 or above in this sub-score.)

• Answer questions directly.

• Add extra relevant details in suitable amounts after first answering the key point of the question.

• Link your answers to the questions by using the same verb tense.

• Try to ensure that your answers to questions are suitable for the real meaning of the questions.

• Show knowledge of the 'short form' of answer for 'Yes/No' questions.
