• expressing preferences in relation to shared activities and experiences, for example, 十時のほうがいい？それはいいね。そうしましょう, and summarising and clarifying arrangements, for example, 金よう日のごご三時半に、えきの前で会いましょう。じゃあ、金よう日のごご三時半に、えきの前ですね。
• discussing issues or problems that occurred on a real or imagined exchange trip and homestay in Japan, and collaborating to brainstorm solutions, offer opinions and advice, and compare individual experiences
• participating in and reflecting on learning experiences that combine language and cultural elements, for example, community events, school exchanges, cultural activities (incursions - taiko, calligraphy) to compare, contribute, evaluate and respond in culturally appropriate ways ～てみましょう、よろしくおねがいします (in context), AはBより、AよりBの方が、おなじです、にています、ちがいます、～のようです、みたいです
• participating in authentic or simulated scenarios which involve negotiations and decision-making related to travelling and living in Japan to satisfy a range of preferences, for example, interacting with friends and host family, sightseeing ～をしたらどうですか、でも～たいです、まだしゅくだいをしてないからだめです、じゃあ、しゅくだいをしてから～てみます、スキーをしたいから、さっぽろへ行きましょう、でも私はスキーができないから、あまり行きたくない。

Year 9 Languages Achievement Standard

By the end of Year 10, students contribute to and extend interactions in Japanese language in increasingly unfamiliar contexts related to a wide range of interests and issues. They interpret texts by evaluating and synthesising information, ideas and perspectives. They show understanding of how features of language can be used to influence audience response. They create texts, selecting and manipulating language for a range of contexts, purposes and audiences. They apply and use complex sentences and structures to create and respond to spoken and written texts. They use a variety of tenses to sequence events and use language devices to enhance meaning and cohesion. They select and use combinations of kana and a range of kanji appropriate to context.Students incorporate features, conventions and phrasing patterns of spoken Japanese in informal and formal speech, to extend fluency. They demonstrate understanding of the conventions of spoken and written texts and the connections between them. They apply knowledge of scripts, language structures and features, to make and predict meaning. They identify multiple readings of familiar kanji in different compounds. They support analysis of Japanese texts, using metalanguage. They reflect on their own cultural perspectives and identity, and draw on their experience of learning Japanese, to evaluate how this learning influences their ideas and ways of communicating.
