This Achievement Standard describes what students are expected to know and do in Year 9 Languages by the end of the year. Teachers can use it to guide assessment design, collect evidence of learning, and ensure planning stays aligned with the Australian Curriculum v9.
By the end of Year 10, students initiate and extend interactions in Chinese language to exchange and compare ideas, opinions and experiences about their own and others’ personal worlds. They incorporate non-verbal, spoken and written language to collaborate, plan and reflect on activities and events. They evaluate and synthesise information and ideas in texts and demonstrate understanding of different perspectives. They interpret, translate and analyse information, and respond in Chinese or English, adjusting language to convey meaning. They create texts, selecting and manipulating language for a range of contexts, purposes and audiences. They enhance the cohesion of their spoken and written texts through the strategic use of language devices and structures.
Students understand and apply nuances of spoken language to extend fluency. They select and apply knowledge of language conventions, structures and features to interact, make meaning and create texts. They support discussion of structures and features of texts, using metalanguage. They reflect on their own language use and cultural identity, and draw on their experience of learning Chinese, to discuss how this learning influences their ideas and ways of communicating.
