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 use their knowledge of Latin to interpret texts and sources, and respond to information about ancient Roman society. They develop strategies to translate Latin texts into English, identifying familiar vocabulary and language structures and features to interpret meaning.
Students apply Latin sound-script relationships and use restored pronunciation when reading familiar texts aloud. They demonstrate understanding that Latin has conventions and rules for spoken and written communication. They understand that Latin has influenced English vocabulary and comment on language structures and features, using metalanguage. They demonstrate awareness that language, texts and artefacts from Ancient Rome are connected with culture and identity, and explore the relationships between language(s), culture(s) and identity.
