This Achievement Standard describes what students are expected to know and do in Year 5 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 6, students initiate and use strategies to maintain interactions in Chinese language that are related to their immediate environment. They collaborate in spoken and written activities that involve the language of planning and problem-solving to share information, ideas and preferences. They use strategies to locate and interpret information and ideas in texts, and demonstrate understanding by responding in Chinese or English, adjusting their response to context, purpose and audience. They create texts, using characters with appropriate stroke order and radicals, vocabulary and sentence structures to suit context. They sequence information and ideas, and use conventions appropriate to text type.
Students apply rules for pronunciation and intonation in spoken Chinese. They apply conventions of script and punctuation, and use modelled structures, when creating and responding in Chinese. They compare language structures and features in Chinese and English, using some metalanguage. They show understanding of how some language reflects cultural practices and consider how this is reflected in their own language(s), culture(s) and identity.
