Hi all!
This freebie is simply a copied and pasted version of the Writing Assessment Criteria extracted from the Spanish Ab Initio Guide. Please, leave a review!
Teachers can use it to mark students work or make it available to students without having to go through the whole guide. I also added some formatting to make it nicer looking, which causes no harm, right?
Please, note that Lingoteca does not claim ownership over this mark scheme and that we are not the legal owners of such assessment criteria, being the IBO.
I simply extracted this information from the Ab Initio Language guide to make it easy to access in one only document. There’s both versions, Spanish and English.
Enjoy!
