Year 7 Turkish 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 initiate and maintain interactions in Turkish language in familiar and some unfamiliar contexts related to a range of interests and experiences. They use Turkish to collaborate and problem-solve, and adjust language in response to others. They interpret information, ideas and opinions in texts. They demonstrate understanding of similarities and differences between languages, in both familiar and some unfamiliar cultural contexts, by adjusting and reorganising responses. They select and use vocabulary, sentence structures and expressions to create texts.
Students apply the conventions of spoken Turkish to develop fluency. They demonstrate understanding that spoken, written and multimodal texts use different language conventions, structures and features to convey meaning. They comment on structures and features of Turkish text, using metalanguage. They reflect on how the Turkish language, culture and identity are interconnected, and compare this with their own language(s), culture(s) and identity.
