Year 7 Languages Achievement Standard

By the end of Year 8, students use Arabic 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 Arabic 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, with conventions of letter position and vowel marks in writing. Students approximate pronunciation and intonation in spoken Arabic. They demonstrate understanding that Arabic has conventions and rules for non-verbal, spoken and written communication. They comment on aspects of Arabic and English language structures and features, using metalanguage. They demonstrate awareness that the Arabic language is connected with culture and identity, and that this connection is reflected in their own language(s), culture(s) and identity.
