recognise familiar Japanese language features and compare with those of English, in known contexts

Elaborations

• 1 discussing the sounds of Japanese language compared with English, noticing limitations when writing some borrowed words and the need to adapt, for example, adjusting to the absence of the ‘l’ and ‘r’ sound when writing names in Japanese
• 2 creating a Japanese and English comparison table, graph, poster or graphic to display language differences, for example, producing a chart to show scripts, word order, conventions, grammar, and pronunciation
• 3 applying literacy knowledge in English, or other known language, to recognise different elements in texts that contribute to meaning-making, for example, examining the layout, title, illustration and use of punctuation in a picture book or the use of speech bubbles in a cartoon; or becoming punctuation detectives and finding elements in a text
• 4 recognising features of familiar genres of Japanese texts, (picture books, digital books, etc.) and reading shared text and noticing elements such as punctuation and layout, and comparing these with the way English is organised in similar texts
