While assessing Hindi language, which point would you give the highest importance to?

Modern language assessment, as recommended by NCF 2005 and language pedagogy, emphasizes spontaneous/natural expression (सहज अभिव्यक्ति) over rigid grammatical correctness or memorized structures. The goal is to assess whether the child can communicate ideas naturally. Over-emphasis on grammar or figurative language can inhibit genuine expression at the primary level.
