1.1
Present information using a sustained style which is clear, confident and appropriate to suit different audiences
Assessor observation: Candidate presents information that may be an anecdote, set of instructions, an explanation or description, to
audiences that may be formal or informal. The candidate demonstrates sustained confidence throughout the delivery. Information is clear
throughout the delivery, with the audience signalling understanding throughout. The style of delivery may vary, as a response to audience
needs.
2.1
Use extended vocabulary and syntax to communicate complex meanings
Assessor observation: Candidate uses a range of vocabulary, which includes sophisticated language, technical/ specialist words, complicated
synonyms and formal words, to help convey complex meaning to the audience. The candidate also uses markers/adverbial phrases such as
‘however’, ‘furthermore’, in conclusion’ and ‘on the other hand’, to help structure what is said, so that the audience can understand complex
meaning. The audience can follow complex meaning as a result of the way the candidate structures what is said.
3.1
Maintain the thread of the exchange despite queries, responses, requests and/or interruptions
Assessor observation: Candidate keeps to the thread of the exchange/delivery: without deviating from the original meaning or purpose of the
exchange/delivery. This is in spite of questioning, interruptions, queries, responses or requests that may potentially disrupt the thread of the
main topic being presented. The candidate ensures that queries, responses, requests and/or interruptions are dealt with confidently and
appropriately, whilst maintaining the overall logical thread of ideas.
