Understanding systems of language

This Content Descriptor from Year 3 Languages provides the specific knowledge and skills students should learn. Use it to plan lessons, create learning sequences, and design assessments that align with the Australian Curriculum v9.

Content Descriptor

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

Elaborations

  • • analysing language features typically associated with particular texts, for example, the use of imperatives in games, 주사위를 던져요
  • • recognising Korean in texts such as signage and labels, and producing their equivalents in English
  • • exploring the importance of politeness being explicitly expressed in Korean and comparing this with English, for example, 만나서 반가워요 versus "Nice to meet you"
  • • understanding different aspects of Korean and English language and culture such as naming conventions, and explaining differences in word order and spacing, for example, 박준호 versus ‘John Smith’
  • • identifying differences between written and spoken texts, for example, comparing a written story with a spoken version, or comparing how texts within the same mode can differ, such as a birthday card and a set of instructions for a game
  • • identifying non-verbal expressions that are typical or expected in communication in different cultures, for example, eye contact, bowing, nodding, pointing

Year 3 ASLANKORF10Y34
Year 3 Languages Achievement Standard
By the end of Year 4, students use Korean language to initiate structured interactions to share information related to the classroom and their personal worlds. They use modelled language to participate in spoken and written activities that involve planning. They locate and respond to key items of information in texts using strategies to help interpret and convey meaning in familiar contexts. They use modelled language and basic syntax to create texts in hangeul, with support. Students imitate hangeul sounds, pronunciation and intonation patterns of spoken Korean. They demonstrate understanding that Korean has non-verbal, spoken and written language conventions and rules to create and make meaning. They recognise that some terms have cultural meanings. They identify patterns in Korean and make comparisons between Korean and English. They understand that the Korean language is connected with culture, and identify how this is reflected in their own language(s) and culture(s).
