Year 5 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Languages Achievement Standard – Australian Curriculum v9
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.
What Students Should Know
By the end of Year 6, students initiate and use strategies to maintain interactions in [Language] language that are related to their experiences and views. They collaborate in spoken and written activities that involve the language of planning and problem-solving to share information, preferences and ideas. They use strategies to locate and interpret information and ideas in texts. They demonstrate understanding by responding in [Language] or English, adjusting their response to context, purpose and audience. They create texts, selecting and using a range of vocabulary and sentence structures to suit context. They sequence information and ideas, and use conventions appropriate to text type.
Students apply rules of pronunciation and intonation in spoken [Language] to enhance fluency. They apply conventions of spelling and punctuation, and use modelled structures, when creating and responding in [Language]. They compare language structures and features in [Language] and English, using some metalanguage. They reflect on the importance of maintaining and strengthening [Language] and the protocols associated with language reclamation and revitalisation. They show understanding of how language reflects cultural practices and consider how this is reflected in their own language(s), culture(s) and identity.
