Pass
Students have been able to complete most of the assignments acceptably and they have attended contact lessons enough to show their progress. They can exchange greetings/farewells, introduce oneself and cope in the most common simple everyday situations. Students can use the most typical grammatical structures e.g. basic verb conjugation, possessive structure and partitive in simple sentences. They can write brief texts like postcards and messages. and pronounce Finnish quite clearly

Fail
It is hard for students to attend a simple conversation or create a short text. They don’t catch an idea of a very simple text. Their pronunciation causes difficulties to understand meanings of produced speech. They couldn’t have shown their activity by attending regularly and/or by submitting needed assignments.
