This Achievement Standard describes what students are expected to know and do in Year 7 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 8, students contribute to and maintain interactions in [Language] language in familiar and unfamiliar contexts related to a range of experiences and perspectives. They use [Language] to negotiate solutions, and adjust language in response to others. They interpret and analyse information, ideas and opinions in texts. They demonstrate understanding of similarities and differences among languages, in both familiar and some unfamiliar cultural contexts, by adjusting responses to suit context, purpose and audience. They select and use vocabulary, sentence structures and expressions, manipulating language to create texts.
Students apply the conventions of spoken [Language] to extend fluency. They demonstrate understanding that spoken, written and multimodal texts use different language conventions, structures and features to convey meaning. They explain structures and features of [Language] text, using metalanguage. They reflect on how language Custodians pass down knowledge and cultural norms, and understand the protocols of maintaining and strengthening [Language]. They understand how these are interconnected with their own language(s), culture(s) and identity.
