IELTS Writing band descriptors
The Writing band descriptors outline the criteria used to assess candidates' performance in the IELTS Writing module. These descriptors include four key areas: Task Achievement, Coherence and Cohesion, Lexical Resource, and Grammatical Range and Accuracy.
Certainly! Here's a more condensed version:
Task Achievement: Assesses how well candidates address the task requirements, maintain a clear position, and support arguments with relevant examples and evidence.
Coherence and Cohesion: Evaluates the organization of writing and the establishment of logical connections between ideas using cohesive devices for a smooth flow.
Lexical Resource: Examines the range and accuracy of vocabulary, including variety, appropriateness, collocation, and word formation in different contexts.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Assesses the control and accuracy of grammatical structures, including the use of a variety of structures and the ability to construct error-free sentences.
Understanding these band descriptors helps candidates identify strengths and weaknesses, enabling targeted improvement for achieving their desired band score in the IELTS Writing module.
