Interaction – Spoken
Overall spoken interactionOral interaction is understood to include both spoken interaction and live, face-to-face signing. | |
---|---|
Advanced 2 (Mitkadamim Bet) | Can engage in complex engineering-related interactions with a degree of fluency and spontaneity that facilitates regular and focused sustained discourse. |
Advanced 1 (Mitkadmim Aleph) | Can participate in semi-structured interactions on straightforward engineering-related matters with some fluency and spontaneity that enables regular and mostly sustained discourse. |
Basic (Besisi) | Can take part in structured interactions on popular engineering topics with some hesitation yet enabling brief interactions. |
Pre-Basic (Trom Besisi) | Can respond within structured interactions on general topics with frequent hesitation, using formulaic patterns. |
Formal discussion (meeting)This scale is concerned with more formal discussion, mainly in a professional or academic context. | |
Advanced 2 (Mitkadamim Bet) | Can actively participate in an engineering-related meeting, making relevant contributions, sustaining opinions, clarifying, asking for clarification/repetition, and responding to points using appropriate formality. |
Advanced 1 (Mitkadmim Aleph) | Can participate in a structured engineering-related meeting, making relevant comments, asking for clarification/repetition, and responding to points using appropriate formality. |
Basic(Besisi) | Can participate in a highly structured meeting, asking and answering questions, and asking for repetition using appropriate formality. |
Pre-Basic (Trom Besisi) | Can participate in a highly structured encounter, asking and answering questions. |
Key concepts operationalized in the scale are very similar to those in informal discussion, but also include the following:
- type of meeting and topics
- ability to follow the discussion: from needing repetition and clarification to understanding points given prominence and keeping up with animated debate
- ability to contribute from needing to rehearse and help with formulation to contributing freely
