CRITERIA FOR MARKING SCHEME FOR DIRECTED WRITING LANGUAGE

MARK DESCRIPTION OF CRITERIA
RANGE
 The language is accurate apart from occasional draft slips.
A  Sentence structure is varied and shows that the candidate is able to use
19 - 20
sentence length and type to achieve an intended effect.
B  Vocabulary shows some sophistication and is used with precision.
16 - 18  Punctuation is correct.
 Spelling is correct across the whole range of vocabulary used.
C  Paragraphs have unity.
13 - 15  The tone is appropriate.
 The language is almost accurate but there may be more minor of first draft
D
10 - 12 slips.
 Errors may also arise from more ambitious structures which are

imperfectly understood.
 Sentences show some variations in length and type, including the

confident use of complex sentences.
 Vocabulary is wide enough to show intended meaning.
 Spelling is nearly always accurate.
 The tone is informal and appropriate to the intended person. The reader is

satisfied that a genuine attempt has been made.
 The language is largely accurate to communicate meaning clearly to the

reader.
 Simple structures are used without errors; mistakes may occur when more

sophisticated structures are attempted.
 Vocabulary is adequate to convey intended meaning although it may not

be sufficiently developed to achieve precision.
 Sentences show some variety of length and structures although there is a

tendency to repeat some sentence types, giving it a monotonous effect.
 Punctuation is generally accurate although errors may occur in more

complex uses.
 Must be written in paragraphs which show some unity, although links may

be absent or inappropriate.
 Slang or formal language is used from time to time.
 The language is sufficiently accurate.
 There will be patches of clarity particularly when simple structures are

used.
 Mistakes will occur when more complex sentences are used.
 There may be some variety of sentence length and type but this may not

be successful in enhancing meaning or arousing interest.
 Vocabulary is adequate but lacks precision.
 Simple words spelt correctly, but errors may occur when unfamiliar words

E are used.
7-9  Punctuation is generally correct but does not enhance or clarify meaning.
 Sentence separation errors may occur.
U (i)  Must be written in paragraphs which may show some unity in topic. Lapse
4-6
in slang or formal language may occur consistently.
U (ii)
2-3  Meaning is never in doubt, but single errors are sufficiently frequent and
U (iii) serious to hamper precision and speed of reading.
0-1
 Some simple structures will be accurate but accuracy is not sustained for
long.

 Vocabulary is limited and either too simple to convey precise meaning or
are imperfectly understood.

 Simple words will usually be spelt accurately but mistakes will occur
when more difficult words are used.

 Must have paragraphs but these lack unity and links are incorrectly used
or the speech may not be paragraphed at all. There may be errors of
sentences separation and punctuation.

 The tone may be appropriate.
 Meaning is fairly clear.
 The reader feels that the correction of ‘single word’ errors may produce a

piece of fairly accurate English, but the incidence of error is high and will
definitely impede the reading.
 Very few simple structures are used accurately.
 Vocabulary may not extend beyond a simple range of words that are
inadequate to express intended shades of meaning.
 Paragraphs will sometimes be used correctly but sentence separation
errors may occur.
 Paragraphs may not be used, or if used, show a lack of planning.
 There may be frequent spelling errors.
 The style may not be appropriate.
 Sense will usually be decipherable, but some of the errors will be
multiple, requiring the reader to re-read and re-organise before meaning
becomes clear
 Whole sections may make little or no sense.
 Unlikely to be more than one or two accurate sentences.
 Scripts in this category are entirely impossible to reorganise as pieces of
English.
 Whole sections may make no sense at all or are copied from the task.
 Award ‘1’ mark if some sense can be obtained.
 The mark ‘0’ should only be awarded if the composition makes no sense
at all, from the beginning to the end.
