Year 1 Languages Achievement Standard

By the end of Year 2, students use Chinese language to interact and share information related to the classroom and themselves. They use cues to respond to questions and instructions, and use simple formulaic language. They locate and convey key items of information in texts using non-verbal, visual and contextual cues to help make meaning. They use familiar words and modelled language to create text. They copy some familiar characters and Pinyin.Students imitate the sounds, tones and rhythms of Chinese. They demonstrate understanding that Chinese has rules for non-verbal communication, pronunciation and writing, and that characters are a form of writing and Pinyin reflects the sounds of spoken Chinese. They give examples of similarities and differences between some features of Chinese and English. They understand that language is connected with culture, and notice how this is reflected in their own language(s) and culture(s).
