Year 9 ASLANGERF10Y910
Year 9 Languages Achievement Standard
By the end of Year 10, students contribute to and extend interactions in German language in increasingly unfamiliar contexts related to a wide range of interests and issues. They interpret texts by evaluating and synthesising information, ideas and perspectives. They show understanding of how features of language can be used to influence audience response. They create texts, selecting and manipulating language for a range of contexts, purposes and audiences. They apply and use complex sentences and structures to create and respond to spoken and written texts. They use a variety of tenses to sequence events and use language devices to enhance meaning and cohesion. Students incorporate the features and conventions of spoken German to extend fluency. They demonstrate understanding of the conventions of spoken and written texts and the connections between them. They apply knowledge of language structures and features to make and predict meaning. They support analysis of German texts, using metalanguage. They reflect on their own cultural perspectives and identity, and draw on their experience of learning German, to evaluate how this learning influences their ideas and ways of communicating.
