Content Descriptor

interpret and translate non-verbal, spoken and written interactions and texts to convey meaning and intercultural understanding in familiar and unfamiliar contexts

Elaborations

•
distinguishing between fact and opinion in texts such as articles and reports, and using critical literacy skills to recognise bias such as identifying the audience and purpose of the text, for example, Itu berita palsu, Kami tahu bahwa informasi bukan fakta oleh karena …, Kita tidak boleh cepat percaya pada …, Berita tersebut harus diuji kebenarannya
•
evaluating the use of non-verbal and spoken language to communicate nuanced cultural meaning such as gestures used to accompany expressions of interaction, for example, Tambah lagi …, Minta maaf kalau ada yang salah. Kalau tidak salah…, Saya minta maaf kalau ada hal-hal yang tidak sengaja saya lakukan …, Mohon maaf kalau ada kata-kata yang menyinggung perasaan …
•
identifying and responding to key messages, values and characteristics in traditional texts such as dongeng, wayang, short stories and poetry, and conveying their meaning and actions for modern interpretations, for example, toko Semar, Si Kancil stories, legends such as Malin Kundang, Tangkuban Perahu
•
interpreting and explaining the use of images, sounds, gestures and language choices to convey cultural concepts and ideals in Indonesian texts, for example, signs, dial tones, anjing menggonggong
• using different resources for interpretation and translation by discussing, comparing, back-translating and checking contextual understanding of individual translations
•
experimenting with translations of Indonesian expressions or idioms, for example, Terlepas dari mulut buaya, masuk ke mulut harimau. Biar lambat asal selamat.
• translating expressions used in Australian English for Indonesian speakers, for example, ‘bush tucker’, ‘she’ll be right’, and ‘schoolies’

Year 9 Languages Achievement Standard

By the end of Year 10, students contribute to and extend interactions in Indonesian 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 Indonesian 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 Indonesian texts, using metalanguage. They reflect on their own cultural perspectives and identity, and draw on their experience of learning Indonesian, to evaluate how this learning influences their ideas and ways of communicating.
