    Description

    A Level 5 student communicates effectively


    in English, with few if any errors, across a
    wide range of grade-level-appropriate
    language demands in the school context.
    The student commands a high degree of
    productive and receptive control of lexical,
    syntactic, phonological, and discourse
    features when addressing new and familiar
    topics.

    A Level 4 student communicates effectively


    in English across a range of grade-level
    appropriate language demands in the school
    context, even though errors occur. The
    student exhibits productive and receptive
    control of lexical, syntactic, phonological,
    and discourse features when addressing new
    and familiar topics.

    Developing

    A Level 3 student is developing the ability to


    communicate effectively in English across a
    range of grade-level-appropriate language
    demands in the school context. Errors
    interfere with communication and
    comprehension. Repetition and negotiation
    are often needed. The student exhibits a
    limited range of lexical, syntactic,
    phonological, and discourse features when
    addressing new and familiar topics.

    Emerging

    A Level 2 student is developing the ability to


    communicate in English within the school
    context. Errors impede basic communication
    and comprehension. Lexical, syntactic,
    phonological, and discourse features of
    English are emerging.

    Starting

    A Level l student is beginning to develop


    receptive and productive uses of English in
    the school context, although comprehension
    may be demonstrated nonverbally or
    through the native language, rather than in
    English.
