Year 7 Modern Greek Achievement Standard – Australian Curriculum v9

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.

What Students Should Know

By the end of Year 8, students use Greek language to interact and collaborate with others, and to share information and plan activities in familiar contexts. They respond to others’ contributions, and recognise familiar gestures, questions and instructions in exchanges. They recognise relationships between spoken and written forms. They locate and respond to information in texts and use non-verbal, visual and contextual cues to help make meaning. They respond in Greek or English, and demonstrate understanding of context, purpose and audience in texts. They use familiar language, and modelled sentence and grammatical structures to create texts.

Students approximate pronunciation and intonation in spoken Greek. They demonstrate understanding that Greek has conventions and rules for non-verbal, spoken and written communication. They comment on aspects of Greek and English language structures and features, using metalanguage. They demonstrate awareness that the Greek language is connected with culture and identity, and that this is reflected in their own language(s), culture(s) and identity.
