Checklist to improve your writing for English learners who have a C1 level of English and it relates to the Cambridge Assessment English C1 Assessment Scale
Checklist to improve your writing – C1
When writing any text it is useful to have a checklist to refer to so you can improve your written English. The same checklist may also be useful to look at if you are checking a classmate’s work. It can be used for any piece of writing that you do, as well as exam practice. This checklist is useful for English learners who have a C1 level of English and it relates to the Cambridge Assessment English C1 Assessment Scale, which our examiners use when they assess writing. To assess a piece of writing, examiners consider these four things, called subscales:
• Content
–how well the task has been completed; for example, has all the important information been included in the piece of writing?
• Communicative Achievement
–how appropriate the writing is in terms of genre; for example, what sort of text do you have to produce – a letter, a report, a review, an essay? Does the text communicate the ideas appropriately and effectively to the targetreader?
• Organisation
–the way the text is organised; for example, are the ideas presented coherently and are they connected through the text across sentences and paragraphs?
• Language
–vocabulary and grammar; for example, is there a range of vocabulary and grammatical structures and how accurately are they used?
