• • Elaboration exploring representations of information used in cultural expressions of First Nations Australians and making connections with those of Korean language and culture, for example, discovering different regional words used by First Nations groups to identify themselves, such as Zenadth Kes, Koori, Koorie, Noongar and Nunga, and finding out if similar identification occurs in Korean-speaking cultural groups
• • Elaboration sharing ideas about how some Australian terms and expressions might be understood or confusing from a Korean perspective, for example, ‘bushwalking’ or ‘kick a footy’
