Year 9 Languages Achievement Standard

By the end of Year 10, students initiate and sustain Japanese 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 Japanese or English, adjusting language to convey meaning and to suit context, purpose and audience. They use structures and features of spoken and written Japanese to create texts. They use a combination of kana and a range of familiar kanji appropriate to context.Students apply features of the Japanese sound system to enhance fluency. They demonstrate understanding of the sound system in spoken exchanges and scripts for written texts, and select and use sentence and grammatical structures to interact, make meaning and create texts. They identify multiple readings of familiar kanji in different compounds. 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 Japanese, to discuss how this learning influences their ideas and ways of communicating.
