• comparing texts in Indonesian and English and discussing similarities and differences, for example, menus may have words and phrases from other languages
• comparing translations of written texts such as advertisements and food packaging, from Indonesian into English and from English into Indonesian, and considering how meanings may be interpreted from a different cultural perspective
•
accessing creative texts and discussing key points such as a quality of a character or special features of the plot, for example, Cerita menarik karena ..., Pada pendapat saya tokoh itu kurang jujur karena ...
•
suggesting ways to modify some terms and expressions that do not translate directly, for example, masuk angin, keren, kamar kecil

Year 5 Languages Achievement Standard

By the end of Year 6, students initiate and use strategies to maintain interactions in Indonesian 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 Indonesian or English, adjusting their response to context, purpose and audience. They create texts, selecting and using a variety of vocabulary and sentence structures to suit context. They sequence information and ideas, and use conventions appropriate to text type. Students apply rules of pronunciation and intonation in spoken Indonesian. They apply conventions of spelling and punctuation, and use modelled structures, when creating and responding in Indonesian. They compare language structures and features in Indonesian 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.
