By the end of Year 8, students initiate and maintain interactions in Indonesian language in familiar and some unfamiliar contexts related to a range of interests and experiences. They use Indonesian to collaborate and problem-solve, and adjust language in response to others. They interpret information, ideas and opinions in texts. They demonstrate understanding of similarities and differences between languages, in both familiar and some unfamiliar cultural contexts, by adjusting and reorganising responses. They select and use vocabulary, sentence structures and expressions to create texts. Students apply the conventions of spoken Indonesian to develop fluency. They demonstrate understanding that spoken, written and multimodal texts use different language conventions, structures and features to convey meaning. They comment on structures and features of Indonesian text, using metalanguage. They reflect on how the Indonesian language, culture and identity are interconnected, and compare this with their own language(s), culture(s) and identity.
