This Content Descriptor from Year 3 Languages provides the specific knowledge and skills students should learn. Use it to plan lessons, create learning sequences, and design assessments that align with the Australian Curriculum v9.

Content Descriptor

locate and respond to key information related to familiar content obtained from spoken, written and multimodal texts

Elaborations

• identifying the gist of information in short spoken texts with some unfamiliar language, for example, listening to a story in [Language] and understanding or predicting the ending
• conveying understanding of plot and sequence in texts, for example, watching a short video in [Language] and writing a timeline with simple supporting commentary
• listening to Elders and/or community members tell stories and sing songs, and making connections with their own lives, for example, hearing from Elders about limiting turtle egg collection so that there are enough remaining eggs to maintain the life cycle of turtles, and understanding how to apply sustainability in their own futures
• identifying different ways of telling a story through dances and paintings, interpreting artistic traditions and visual designs rooted in First Nations culture, for example, using string to tell Creation, Dreamtime or traditional stories with permission from Elders and/or community members as appropriate
• identifying key messages, values and histories expressed in dances, songs and stories, for example, listening to Elders and/or community members as appropriate, tell their stories about what life was like when they were young and then using modelled language to compare this with their own lives in a Venn diagram in [Language]
• participating in and responding to shared and guided reading, retelling, or re-enacting parts of stories in spoken, written, or multimodal form, including Creation, Dreamtime, Dreaming or traditional stories passed down through generations with permission from Elders and/or community members, or contemporary First Nations media
• making predictions about the development or flow of ideas in First Nations texts, using contextual and visual cues

Year 3 Languages Achievement Standard

By the end of Year 4, students use [Language] language to initiate structured interactions to share information related to Country/Place, the classroom and their personal worlds. They use modelled language to participate in spoken and written 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 to create texts. Students imitate sound combinations and rhythms of spoken [Language]. They demonstrate understanding that [Language] has non-verbal, spoken and written language conventions and rules to create and make meaning. They recognise that some terms have cultural meanings. They identify patterns in [Language] and make comparisons between [Language] and English. They understand that the [Language] language is passed down from generation to generation by its Custodians and is connected with culture and identity. They identify how this is reflected in their own language(s), culture(s) and identity.
