Interact in spoken Japanese to share and respond to information, ideas, and opinions
This standard tests whether you can have a real conversation in Japanese without a script, talking about things that matter to you — your experiences, plans, and ideas. You need to speak Japanese well enough to share information and respond to what others say, even if you make small mistakes along the way.
You interact in spoken Japanese to share and respond to information, using relevant language in unrehearsed conversation about events or experiences, and overall communication comes across despite some inconsistencies.
You interact capably by using interactive strategies to support the flow of conversation, demonstrating a range of vocabulary and sentence structures, building on what your conversation partner says, and communicating clearly with only minor errors that don't significantly hinder understanding.
You interact skilfully using interactive strategies that actively enhance the conversation (like engaging with specific details your partner mentions or knowing when to move between topics), showing consistent control of varied and well-chosen vocabulary and structures, with communication that flows naturally without being hindered by inconsistencies.
