Cued American English Competency Screening-ExpressiveCAECS-E :: About :: Ratings :: Preparing Candidates receive 6 subscores from the CAECS-E: Vowel Accuracy :: While cueing single words, the candidate's cueing is evaluated based on vowel accuracy alone. Consonant Accuracy :: While cueing single words, the candidate's cueing is evaluated based on consonant accuracy alone. Handshape-Placement Accuracy :: While cueing single words, the candidate is evaluated in terms of both consonant and vowel accuracy. Additionally, the candidate is evaluated by his/her ability to combine handshapes and placements into cued segments (i.e. consonant-vowel segments represented as handshape + placement/movement). Form :: The candidate is evaluated on his/her expressive clarity. This subscore is negatively impacted by handshapes that are only partially rendered, the candidate's failure to touch vowel placements, inaccurate transitions between cues, extraneous movements, and an inconsistent side placement. Prosody :: For this score, the candidate is evaluated by his/her ability to model visual prosodic elements of cued discourse. These elements include mood, inflection, and prominence (stress at the syllable and word level). Discourse :: The candidate is given a score based on his/her ability to produce cues with natural rhythm. This subscore is negatively impacted by choppy, halting cueing, and pausing within words. These subscores are averaged to yield the candidates overall score. The candidates rating is determined by the range of scores that the candidates score falls within. 3.4-4.0 Acceptable :: 2.7-3.3 Developing :: 2.0-2.6 Emerging :: 1.0-1.9 Inaccurate :: Not-Rateable :: There is no PASS/FAIL for the CAECS-E. However, a minimum rating may be required by personnel departments, school districts, or state agencies. The rating of "Acceptable" is a prerequisite for the Cued Language Transliterator National Certification Examination (CLTNCE). Official TECUnit Rating Info
