Year 9 Languages Achievement Standard

By the end of Year 10, students initiate and sustain Italian language to exchange and compare ideas and experiences about their own and others’ personal world. They communicate using non-verbal, spoken and written language to collaborate, plan and reflect on activities and events. They interpret and analyse information and ideas in texts and demonstrate understanding of different perspectives. They synthesise information and respond in Italian or English, adjusting language to convey meaning and to suit context, purpose and audience. They use structures and features of spoken and written Italian to create texts.Students apply features of the Italian sound system to enhance fluency and demonstrate understanding of the sound system in spoken exchanges. They select and apply knowledge of language conventions, structures and features to interact, make meaning and create texts. They support discussion of structures and features of texts, using metalanguage. They reflect on their own language use and cultural identity, and draw on their experience of learning Italian, to discuss how this learning influences their ideas and ways of communicating.
