Year 3 Languages Achievement Standard

By the end of Year 4, students use Italian language to initiate structured interactions to share information related to the classroom and their personal world. 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 Italian language. They demonstrate understanding that Italian 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 Italian and make comparisons between Italian and English. They understand that the Italian language is connected with culture, and identify how this is reflected in their own language(s) and culture(s).
