RUBRICA DI VALUTAZIONE PER LA LINGUA INGLESE
SECONDARIA “MURATORI”
A titolo introduttivo si precisa di seguito il profilo complessivo di competenza linguistico comunicativa atteso per il livello A1 ed A2, così come descritto nella Global Scale del Quadro
Comune Europeo di Riferimento (CEFR) per le lingue straniere:
BASIC USER A1 Can understand and use familiar everyday
expressions and very basic phrases aimed at the
satisfaction of needs of a concrete type. Can introduce him/herself and others and
can ask and answer questions about personal
details such as where he/she lives, people he/she knows and things he/she has. Can
interact in a simple way provided the other person
talks slowly and clearly and is prepared to help.
BASIC USER A2 Can understand sentences and frequently used
expressions related to areas of most immediate relevance (e.g. very basic personal and family information, shopping,
local geography, employment). Can
communicate in simple and routine tasks requiring a
simple and direct exchange of information on familiar and routine matters. Can describe
in simple terms aspects of his/her background,
immediate environment and matters in areas of immediate need.
Si riportano di seguito i modelli che integrano le rubrica di valutazione in uso per la lingua inglese, recanti per ogni indicatore individuato, opportuni descrittori per l’osservazione delle
competenze.
Modello 1) Il modello di seguito riportato declina in modo puntuale le caratteristiche delle prestazioni osservate per le competenze ricettive, produttive ed interattive, attribuendo a ciascuna di esse una valutazione in decimi. Si precisa che tali declinazioni sono allineate alla Cambridge Scale.
PRODUCTION: SPEAKING AND INTERACTION
(I, II and III YEAR - to be referred to Pre-A1, A1 or A2 level: for typical general ability at each level please see in “Curriculo verticale di lingua inglese-sezione secondaria”, “Descrittori di
competenza”, as well as “Can do statements” provided within “modello 4A and 4B”: all these statements are linked to the CEFR)
Pre-A1 level (Cambridge Starters): students are not expected to speak at sentence level, they are evaluated for the following criteria: Vocabulary (Range, Control and Extent), Pronunciation
(Individual sounds and Word stress), Interaction (Reception/responding, Support required, Fluency/ Promptness). Grammar and cohesion are not evaluated at this level.
A1 and A2 levels (Cambridge Movers and KET): students are evaluated for the following criteria: Vocabulary and Grammar (Range, Control, Extent and Cohesion), Pronunciation (Individual sounds, Stress, Intonation) and Interaction (Reception/Responding, Support
Required, Fluency/Promptness).
The criteria for speaking in the Cambridge Scale all carry the same weight 0 to 5, points 0 to 5 are awarded when assessing the speaking paper in Starters, Movers or KET exam, otherwise
the performance is marked out of 10.
Glossary of terms used in the scales below (production and reception):
●Vocabulary and Grammar
- Range: refers to the degree to which students can attempt to use the simple structures which are in the syllabus for the three levels. Complete accuracy, even to score 5 at A2 is not
expected, but how far errors may or may not obscure meaning is considered
- Extent: refers to the length of students’ utterances. This ranges from mostly one word responses at Pre-A1, extending to short simple sentences at A1, and slightly longer and slightly
more complex sentence responses at A2 level
- Cohesion: refers to a student’s ability to join ideas using simple linkers: starting with and at A1 level and rising to then and because at A2 level
●Pronunciation
- Individual sounds: refers to the students’ ability to pronounce vowels, diphthongs and consonants. Generally the student should be inteligible to non EFL/ESOL specialists even if the
student has a strong or unfamiliar accent
- Stress: refers to the emphasis laid on a syllable or word
- Intonation: refers to the way voice rises and falls to convey the student’s mood or to support meaning
●Interaction
-Reception/Responding: refers to replying/reacting to what the teacher/examiner has said. It assesses the student’s ability to understand the teacher/examiner and to respond
appropriately
_Support required: refers to the degree of support from the teacher/examiner needed by the student
-Fluency/Promptness: refers to aspects of interaction which are relevant and appropriate to the task, ranging between overall fluidity of expression and generally unable to sustain speech.
Typical performances at all three levels are characterised by hesitation and pauses..
“Support” refers to the teacher/examiner slowing down, repeating questions or using back-up questions
“Minimal utterances” are those given on the interlocutor frame, any words or phrases additional to this are considered expansion
“Understood” means understood by the teacher/examiner in the context of the task/test
“Sufficient grammar and vocabulary to complete the tasks” includes using strategies to describe something when the candidate does not know the word (descriptions, combination of
words to convey the idea though the words are incorrect)

Pronunciation, A1 and A2 levels: if the student produces some language, but insufficient language to make a confident judgement about pronunciation (e.g. just a couple of words), the maximum score that can be awarded is 3 points, regardless of quality of
pronunciation.
In the Cambridge Scale at Level A2 (Waystage - Key English Test, Basic User CEFR), basic command of the spoken language is described as follows:
Able to convey basic meaning in very familiar or highly predictable situations
Produces utterances which tend to be very short – words or phrases- with frequent hesitation and pauses. Dependent on rehearsed or formulaic phrases with limited
generative capacity. Only able to produce limited extended discourse. Pronunciation is heavily influenced by L1 features and may at times be difficult to understand. Requires
prompting and assistance by interlocutor to prevent communication from breaking down.
In the CEFR qualitative aspects of spoken language use for levels A1 and A2 are described as follows:
RANGE ACCURACY FLUENCY INTERACTION COHERENCE
A1 Has a very basic repertoire of words and simple phrases related to personal details and particular concrete situations.
Shows only limited control of a few simple grammatical structures and sentence patterns in a memorised repertoire.
Can manage very short, isolated, mainly prepackaged utterances, with much pausing to search for expressions, to articulate less familiar words, and to repair communication.
Can ask and answer questions about personal details. Can interact in a simple way but communication is totally dependent on repetition, rephrasing and repair.
Can link words or groups of words with very basic linear connectors like "and" or "then".
A2 Uses basic Uses some Can make Can answer Can link groups
sentence patterns with memorised phrases, groups of a few words and formulae in order to communicate limited information in simple everyday situations.
simple structures correctly, but still systematically makes basic mistakes.
him/herself understood in very short utterances, even though pauses, false starts and reformulation are very evident.
questions and respond to simple statements. Can indicate when he/she is following but is rarely able to understand enough to keep conversation going of his/her own accord.
of words with simple connectors like "and, "but" and "because".

Modello 2) La scala in percentuali di seguito riportata si applica ai fini della misurazione delle prove oggettive in uso per la lingua inglese. Da essa si derivano le valutazioni in decimi secondo gli intervalli individuati di seguito.
100% = 1095%-99%= 9 ½90%-94%= 985%-89%= 8 ½ 80%-84%= 875%-79%= 7 ½ 70%-74%= 765%-69%= 6 ½ 60%-64%= 655%-59%= 5 ½ 50%-54%= 545%-49%= 4 ½ 40%-44% and below = 40% = task not attempted
Per le prove standardizzate Cambridge la valutazione per una proficiency adeguata è 7/10 (70%). Se il candidato realizza quindi il 70% del globale della prova (scritto + orale) in modo corretto si ritiene soddisfatto il livello target perseguito (A1 per Movers e A2/B1 per KET).
I livelli del quadro comune europeo di competenza linguistica vengono individuati ed attribuiti in relazione alla performance evidenziata dalla prova come segue:
Movers:
For each skill (listening, speaking, reading and writing), test takers are awarded between 1 and 5 shields. Test takers who receive 1 shield need to improve a lot in this skill. Test takers who receive 3 shields answered most of the questions correctly. Test takers who get 5 shields did very well and answered most
of the questions correctly. A total of 10 or more shields across three skills means that the test taker is ready to start preparing for the next Cambridge English test.
90%-100% A1 CEFR) 14 or 15 shields across three skills
85%-89% (A1 CEFR) 12 or 13 shields across three skills
70%-84% (A1 CEFR) from 9 to 11 shields across three skills
45%-69% LEVEL PRE-A1 from 5 to 8 shields across three skills
0%-44% LEVEL PRE-A1 3 or 4 shields across three skills

(Lo stesso materiale è disponibile per la prova Starters Pre A1 CEFR)
Modello 3) LA TABELLA CHE SEGUE, OPPORTUNAMENTE INTEGRATA DA DESCRITTORI DI COMPETENZA (“Can do statements”) PER OGNUNO DEGLI INDICATORI INDIVIDUATI, E’ UTILIZZATA IN OCCASIONE Dei percorsi di apprendimento attivati nelle classi. I descrittori possono riferirsi ai profili traguardo di competenza (vedasi “modello 4A e 4B”) e in quanto tali sono utili in sede di valutazione sommativa, per l’attribuzione di un livello di competenza del CEFR in riferimento ad una particolare competenza (oppure in riferimento all’integrazione delle quattro competenze). I descrittori riferiti alle prestazioni osservabili in occasione delle attività curriculari attivate quotidianamente, utili ai fini di una valutazione di tipo formativo, sono invece desumibili dal documento del curriculo verticale. Nel modello è inoltre possibile inserire indicatori e descrittori di processo (elencati nel “modello 5” e nella colonna “Strategie” del documento del “Curriculo Verticale di lingua inglese – sezione Secondaria), utili per la valutazione ed autovalutazione del fare strategico, ovvero l’applicazione da parte degli alunni di strategie condivise per la buona riuscita di un compito. Si precisa che tutti i descrittori sono tratti dal CEFR e allineati alla Cambridge Scale.
N.B. Lo stesso modello esprime un raccordo tra i livelli di competenza (iniziale, base, intermedio e avanzato, interpretati in chiave di autonomia ed efficacia linguistico-operativa ai fini della riuscita di un compito), e la valutazione in decimi imposta dalla normativa vigente in materia di valutazione. Si precisa che tale corrispondenza viene individuata anche mediante l’attivazione di protocolli di osservazione per il rilevamento delle diverse dimensioni che costituiscono la competenza. Inoltre, il medesimo modello, integrato da opportuni indicatori e descrittori, può essere adoperato per la valutazione di un prodotto da realizzarsi al termine di un’unità di apprendimento.

Modello 4A) “Can do summary statements”: griglia per l’autovalutazione con descrittori riferiti a profili di traguardo di competenza. Per i descrittori riferiti alle prestazioni attese per le attività curriculari si faccia riferimento al curriculo di lingua inglese. I descrittori riferiti a profili di traguardo di competenza sono applicabili alle prestazioni attese in occasione della somministrazione delle prove standard per l’attribuzione di un traguardo di competenza e dunque in fase di valutazione sommativa. Si ricorda che il traguardo di competenza prescritto per il termine del primo ciclo di istruzione è A2.
