By the end of Year 6, students initiate and use strategies to maintain interactions in Hindi language that are related to their immediate environment. They use appropriate sound combinations, intonation and rhythm in spoken texts. They collaborate in spoken and written activities that involve the language of planning and problem-solving to share information, ideas and preferences. They use strategies to locate and interpret information and ideas in texts, and demonstrate understanding by responding in Hindi or English, adjusting their response to context, purpose and audience. They create texts, selecting and using a variety of vocabulary and sentence structures, and Devanāgarī script, to suit context. They sequence information and ideas, and use conventions appropriate to text type. Students apply rules for pronunciation and intonation in spoken Hindi. They apply conventions of spelling and punctuation, and use modelled structures, when creating and responding in Hindi. They compare language structures and features in Hindi and English, using some metalanguage. They show understanding of how some language reflects cultural practices and consider how this is reflected in their own language(s), culture(s) and identity.
