Content Descriptor

apply features and conventions of spoken Hindi to extend fluency in responding to and creating texts in familiar and unfamiliar contexts

Elaborations

  • • experimenting with intonation and stress, improving coherence and increasing expressive range, for example, through reading aloud from unfamiliar texts such as newspapers, novels, reports
  • • identifying features of spoken language, such as the use of repetition, pauses, interruptions, incomplete sentences, and non-verbal expression, which are not represented in written Hindi but are important elements of spoken interactions
  • • understanding regular and irregular elements of spoken and written Hindi, such as the influence of accents and expression on pronunciation and spelling, for example, the use of वो in spoken Hindi in place of वह in written Hindi
  • • recognising and responding to challenges associated with clarity and pace in audio texts such as airport announcements or recorded phone messages
  • • reciting challenging tongue twisters with some unfamiliar words to develop pace, accuracy and fluency, for example, कच्चा पापड़- पक्का पापड़, पीतल के पतीले में पका पपीता पीला-पीला, ऊंट ऊंचा, ऊंट की पीठ ऊंची, ऊंची पूंछ ऊंट की
  • • identifying the people and factors that influence their own Hindi language use, pronunciation and speech patterns, such as parents, teachers, peers and media

Year 9 Languages Achievement Standard
By the end of Year 10, students contribute to and extend interactions in Hindi 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 features to enhance meaning and cohesion. Students incorporate the features and conventions of spoken Hindi 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 Hindi texts, using metalanguage. They reflect on their own cultural perspectives and identity, and draw on their experience of learning Hindi, to evaluate how this learning influences their ideas and ways of communicating.
