• identifying the use of loan words from other languages in texts such as advertisements and popular music to suggest values such as ‘modern’, ‘sophisticated’ and ‘educated’

•
understanding that ‘please’ in English has a different Indonesian equivalent depending on context, for example, silakan, tolong, coba
•
developing understanding of how different text types use linguistic features to create effects, for example, superlatives in advertisements designed to persuade (terbaru, paling sehat), the imperative in signs designed to advise or prohibit (Dilarang), salutations in emails designed to maintain relationships (yang baik, salam dari)

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.
