Year 7 Languages Achievement Standard

By the end of Year 8, students use Japanese language to interact and collaborate with others, and to share information and plan activities in familiar contexts. They respond to others’ contributions, and recognise familiar gestures, questions and instructions in exchanges. They locate and respond to information in texts and use non-verbal, visual and contextual cues to help make meaning. They respond in Japanese or English, and demonstrate understanding of context, purpose and audience in texts. They use familiar language, and modelled sentence and grammatical structures to create texts, and demonstrate understanding of how some language reflects cultural practices. They use some familiar katakana and kanji, and hiragana, with support.Students approximate Japanese sound patterns, intonation and rhythms, and recognise the relationship between spoken and written forms. They demonstrate understanding that Japanese has conventions and rules for scripts, non-verbal, spoken and written communication. They comment on aspects of Japanese and English language structures and features, using metalanguage. They demonstrate awareness that the Japanese language is connected with culture and identity, and how this is reflected in their own language(s), culture(s) and identity.
