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.
