Expert

(Level 6)


Pronunciation, stress, rhythm, and intonation, though possibly influenced by the first language or regional variation, almost never interfere with ease of understanding.

Both basic and complex grammatical structures and sentence patterns are consistently well controlled.

Vocabulary range and accuracy are sufficient to communicate effectively on a wide variety of familiar and unfamiliar topics. Vocabulary is idiomatic, nuanced and sensitive to register.

Fluency

Comprehension

Interactions

Able to speak at length with a natural, effortless flow. Varies speech flow for stylistic effect, e. g. to emphasise a point. Uses appropriate discourse markers and connectors spontaneously.

Comprehension is consistently accurate in nearly all contexts and includes comprehension of linguistic and cultural subtleties.

Interacts with ease in nearly all situations. Is sensitive to verbal and non-verbal cues, and responds to them appropriately.



Extended

(Level 5)


Pronunciation

Structure

Vocabulary

Pronunciation, stress, rhythm, and intonation, though influenced by the first language or regional variation, rarely interfere with ease of understanding.

Basic grammatical structures and sentence patterns are consistently well plex structures are attempted but with errors which sometimes interfere with meaning.

Vocabulary range and accuracy are sufficient to communicate effectively on common, concrete, and work-related topics. Paraphrases consistently and successfully. Vocabulary is sometimes idiomatic.

Fluency

Comprehension

Interactions

Able to speak at length with relative ease on familiar topics, but may not vary speech flow as a stylistic device. Can make use of appropriate discourse markers or connectors.

Comprehension is accurate on common, concrete, and work-related topics and mostly accurate when the speaker is confronted with a linguistic or situational complication or an unexpected turn of events. Is able to comprehend a range of speech varieties (dialect and/or accent) or registers.

Responses are immediate, appropriate, and informative. Manages the speaker / listener relationship effectively.



Operational

(Level 4)


Pronunciation

Structure

Vocabulary

Pronunciation, stress, rhythm, and intonation are influenced by the first language or regional variation but only sometimes interfere with ease of understanding.

Basic grammatical structures and sentence patterns are used creatively and are usually well controlled. Errors may occur, particularly in unusual or unexpected circumstances, but rarely interfere with meaning.

Vocabulary range and accuracy are usually sufficient to communicate effectively on common, concrete, and work-related topics. Can often paraphrase successfully when lacking vocabulary particularly in unusual or unexpected circumstances.

Fluency

Comprehension

Interactions

Produces stretches of language at an appropriate tempo. There may be occasional loss of fluency on transition from rehearsed or formulaic speech to spontaneous interaction, but this does not prevent effective communication. Can make limited use of discourse markers and connectors. Fillers are not distracting.

Comprehension is mostly accurate on common, concrete, and work-related topics when the accent or variety used is sufficiently intelligible for an international community of users. When the speaker is confronted with a linguistic or situational complication or an unexpected turn of events, comprehension may be slower or require clarification strategies.

Responses are usually 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.

Pre-Operational

(Level 3)


Pronunciation, stress, rhythm, and intonation are influenced by the first language or regional variation and frequently interfere with ease of understanding.

Basic grammatical structures and sentence patterns associated with predictable situations are not always well controlled. Errors frequently interfere with meaning.

Vocabulary range and accuracy are often sufficient to communicate on common, concrete, or work-related topics, but range is limited and the word choice often inappropriate. Is often unable to paraphrase successfully when lacking vocabulary.

Fluency

Comprehension

Interactions

Produces stretches of language, but phrasing and pausing are often inappropriate. Hesitations or slowness in language processing may prevent effective communication. Fillers are sometimes distracting.

Comprehension is often accurate on common, concrete, and work - related topics when the accent or variety used is sufficiently intelligible for an international community of users. May fail to understand a linguistic or situational complication or an unexpected turn of events.

Responses are sometimes immediate, appropriate, and informative. Can initiate and maintain exchanges with reasonable ease on familiar topics and in predictable situations. Generally inadequate when dealing with an unexpected turn of events.



Elementary

(Level 2)


Pronunciation

Structure

Vocabulary

Pronunciation, stress, rhythm, and intonation are heavily influenced by the first language or regional variation and usually interfere with ease of understanding.

Shows only limited control of a few simple memorized grammatical structures and sentence patterns.

Limited vocabulary range consisting only of isolated words and memorized phrases.

Fluency

Comprehension

Interactions

Can produce very short, isolated, memorized utterances with frequent pausing and a distracting use of fillers to search for expressions and to articulate less familiar words.

Приложение 2. Пример использования разговорного языка из 3.3.15 документа 9835 (2010).

3.3.15 Below is an example of plain language as actually used by a military pilot to explain an unusual problem to a civil air traffic controller:

Pilot: … I have, I have a request. Our patient is a victim of an automobile accident. Requesting immediate orthopaedic surgery for her severe condition. Do you know from our route of flight, as per our flight plan of any fields in name of (country) in the event of … that we may divert into, where medical crews  can meet the aircraft, with transportation by ambulance and immediate transport to surgery? We would like a request, of names of fields along our route of flight shortest distance from our positions along our continued route if you could please ask; we are not requesting a diversion at this time. However if it is approved by our controlling air force we’ll then be requesting this diversion. How do you copy sir?

3.3.16 The features of plain language, as illustrated above, can be far from plain and present a challenge to listening skills. They include the use of a wider vocabulary referring (often with less precision) to domains and topics outside the aviation area (medicine, military organizations, etc.), references to complex notions such as hypothesis (we may divert), indirectness (we would like a request) and, under stressful conditions, much longer and less organized sentences.

3.3.15 Ниже приводится пример реального использования разговорного языка военным пилотом, чтобы объяснить гражданскому диспетчеру УВД возникшую у него нештатную проблему:

Пилот: ...у меня, у меня есть просьба. Наша пациентка попала в автомобильную аварию. Ее тяжелое состояние требует немедленного ортопедического хирургического вмешательства. Знаете ли вы, исходя из нашего маршрута полета согласно полетному плану, любые аэродромы в (название страны) на случай того..., куда мы могли бы повернуть, где медицинская бригада может встретить самолет с машиной скорой помощи и немедленно доставить пациентку в хирургическое отделение? Мы хотели бы запросить названия аэродромов вдоль маршрута полета на кратчайшем расстоянии от маршрута нашего дальнейшего следования, если вас не затруднит узнать; в данный момент мы не просим разрешения на изменение маршрута. Однако если оно будет одобрено нашим командным диспетчерским пунктом, тогда мы будем запрашивать разрешение на такое изменение маршрута. Как вы меня поняли, сэр?
