Content Descriptor

with support, use words, familiar phrases and modelled language to create spoken, written and multimodal texts, copying some kana and single high-frequency kanji appropriate to context

Elaborations

  • linking movement to meaning by creating a dance or actions matching spoken language or songs
  • using simple language structures and supporting drawings or actions to describe and respond to imaginary characters or experiences, for example, おばけ、おに、かっぱ、たぬき、ようかいです。
  • creating bilingual resources for the classroom, for example, collectively creating a simple class story and recording students’ voices reading the story to produce an audio file
  • matching bilingual captions/labels to images of First Nations Country/Place locations in their local area or elsewhere in Australia
  • creating and illustrating class ‘Big Books’ about familiar topics using simple, modelled structures, for example, writing and drawing favourite animals, かえるです。みどりです, and practising reading aloud
  • creating their own short print or digital story modelled on shared reading, for example, a だるまさんが story, with images and labels in hiragana
  • using simple sentence structures, familiar vocabulary and concrete materials, create an informative ‘about me’ poster or profile with images or photos to be displayed in the classroom

Achievement Standard This Supports

This Content Descriptor contributes to the following Achievement Standard:

Year 1 ASLANJAPF10Y12
Year 1 Languages Achievement Standard
By the end of Year 2, students use Japanese language to interact and share information related to the classroom and themselves. They use cues to respond to questions and instructions, and use simple formulaic language. They locate and convey key items of information in texts using non-verbal, visual and contextual cues to help make meaning. They use familiar words and modelled language to create text. They copy some kana script and single, high-frequency kanji appropriate to context.Students imitate the sounds and rhythms of Japanese and demonstrate understanding that Japanese has rules for non-verbal communication, pronunciation and writing and identify the 3 different scripts. They give examples of similarities and differences between some features of Japanese and English. They understand that language is connected with culture, and notice how this is reflected in their own language(s) and culture(s).
