    This document outlines the assessment criteria for speaking skills at CEFR level C1. It evaluates candidates on four dimensions: range and accuracy, fluency and coherence, pronunciation, and communication strategies. For each dimension, it provides detailed descriptions of the language abilities and competencies expected at levels 0.8, 0.6, 0.4, 0.2, and 0 within that dimension. The highest levels require a wide range of grammar and vocabulary used with few errors, a seamless flow of language, natural pronunciation, and sophisticated communication strategies. Lower levels show more hesitation, errors, and less developed skills in these areas.
