Year 3 Languages Achievement Standard
By the end of Year 4, students use Indonesian language to initiate structured interactions to share information related to the classroom and their personal worlds. They use modelled language to participate in spoken and written activities that involve planning. They locate and respond to key items of information in texts using strategies to help interpret and convey meaning in familiar contexts. They use modelled language and basic syntax to create texts. Students imitate sound combinations and rhythms of spoken Indonesian. They demonstrate understanding that Indonesian has non-verbal, spoken and written language conventions and rules to create and make meaning. They recognise that some terms have cultural meanings. They identify patterns in Indonesian and make comparisons between Indonesian and English. They understand that the Indonesian language is connected with culture, and identify how this is reflected in their own language(s) and culture(s).
