effectiveness of the writing.
Scalepoint 4
The writer develops the topic and expresses ideas clearly and logically. He or she usually goes beyond
simple description. Sentence structure is correct, but generally conventional. The writer uses appropriate
Punjabi expressions, but rarely goes beyond high frequency vocabulary. Use of tenses is generally
correct, but frequently limited in scope. Minor errors in spelling and grammar do not impede
comprehension.
Scalepoint 3
The writer communicates in a generally straightforward manner. Ideas are related, but they may not
always be sequentially organized. The general impression of the writing is somewhat uninspired and
often variable in quality. Idiomatic Punjabi and vocabulary are presented at a predominantly basic level.
Despite a number of errors in spelling and grammar, the message is easily understood.
Scalepoint 2
Development may be deficient or simplistic and does not go beyond stating the obvious. Ideas are not
necessarily sequential, resulting in choppy reading which often requires the reader to fill in details. The
writer uses basic vocabulary and occasionally resorts to direct translation from English. In general, verb
tenses are incorrectly and randomly used. Although the writing may contain many grammatical errors, the
message is still understood.
Scalepoint 1
Ideas may or may not be related and do not follow a logical progression. Development is frequently
insufficient, and the writing lacks clarity. Vocabulary used is inappropriate or misspelled, leading to
confusion. The writing is often characterized by reliance on direct translation from English and the use of
English words. Verb tenses are incorrectly formed and used. The large number of grammatical errors
impedes comprehension.
Scalepoint 0
Some text has been produced, but the effort is characterized by one or more of the following problems:
a) too deficient in length to evaluate
b) errors make the paper unintelligible
c) no discernible grasp of Punjabi expressions
