Ways of dealing with dataA2 – C2 criterial features
Passing scripts only… We are trying to define the criterial
grammatical and lexical features that are known to learners who are successful at that level..
© UCLES 2013
Transitional ‘criterial features’ Complex structures are first learned with a
relatively small number of frequent simple predicates and then extended…..
what becomes criterial at higher levels are sets of lexical ‘triggering predicates’ that
co-occur with syntactic frames

LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENTIntegrated ‘chains’ of tasks that allow
students / teachers to explore different aspects of vocabulary / structure.
Communication tasks : built into language focuses that allow for personalisation/ self-investment in the language

Importance of reformulation A learner’s ability to process and produce ‘relexicalisations’ in speech and writing is critical to success in all skills strands of a communicative curriculum and tasks based around reformulation should feature prominently in review processes.
