Year 3 Languages Achievement Standard

By the end of Year 4, students use Auslan to initiate structured interactions to share information related to the classroom and their personal worlds. They use familiar language to participate in activities that involve planning. They locate and respond to key items of information in texts, using strategies to help interpret and convey meaning in familiar contexts. They use modelled language and basic syntax, including familiar fingerspelling (FS), lexical signs, depicting signs (DSs), non-manual features (NMFs) and signing space, to create texts. Students use modelled combinations of signs and demonstrate understanding that Auslan has language conventions and rules to create and make meaning. They identify patterns in Auslan and make comparisons between Auslan and English. They understand that Auslan is connected with culture and identity, and identify how this is reflected in their own language(s), culture(s) and identity.
