Advanced Low
Advanced Low
combine and link sentences into connected discourse of paragraph length. When pressed for a fuller account,
they tend to grope and rely on minimal discourse. Their utterances are typically not longer than a single
paragraph. Structure of the dominant language is still evident in the use of false cognates, literal translations,
or the oral paragraph structure of the speaker's own language rather than that of the target language.
Advanced-Low speakers contribute to the conversation with sufficient accuracy, clarity, and precision to
convey their intended message without misrepresentation or confusion, and it can be understood by native
speakers unaccustomed to dealing with non-natives, even though this may be achieved through repetition and
restatement. When attempting to perform functions or handle topics associated with the Superior level, the
linguistic quality and quantity of their speech will deteriorate significantly.
