Understanding systems of language

This Content Descriptor from Year 5 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

use knowledge of modelled grammatical structures and formulaic expressions to compose and respond to texts, using appropriate punctuation and textual conventions

Elaborations

  • • recognising spacing and spelling rules in reading and writing, for example, 소라가 방에 있어요 versus 소라 가방에 있어요
  • • comparing spacing and spelling rules in Korean with such rules in English and other known languages
  • • expressing simple events occurring in the past using –었/았–, for example, 캔버라에 살았어요
  • • recognising the formal polite ending –ㅂ/습니다 and the casual ending –어/아, 해, and understanding the different contexts where different levels of politeness and formality are indicated by verb endings, for example, 미안합니다 versus 미안해요 versus 미안해
  • • using both counting systems correctly with counter words such as 장, 잔, 권, 그루, 송이, 원, 시, 분, 번째, … and reading Arabic numerals with the appropriate pronunciation according to the numbering system that is used, for example, 책 3권 is read as [책 세 권], 10살 is read as [열 살], 6학년 is read as [육 학년], 7시 is read as [일곱 시]
  • • using phrases with the structure of a noun+particle such as –하고, –에서, –(으)로 in a sentence, for example, 친구하고 쇼핑했어요, 학교에서 공부해요, 펜으로 쓰세요, 한국어로 뭐예요?
  • • using simple negation by placing 안 or 못 before a verb, for example, 비가 안 와요, 김치를 못 먹었어요

  • • expressing a sequence of events by using conjunctive adverbs such as 그리고 at the beginning of a new sentence, for example, 밥을 먹어요. 그리고 운동해요, and using conjunctive suffixes such as –고 in a coordinative structure, for example, 밥을 먹고 운동해요
  • • using the complex structures –(으)ㄴ/는 것 같다 and –도 되다 in the informal polite style ending –어/아요 to express opinions and give or request permission, for example, 맞는 것 같아요, 가도 돼요?
  • • recognising how word order and syntactic functions are different in simple sentences in Korean and English, for example, “저는 (subject) 사과를, (object) 먹어요 (verb)” versus “I (subject) eat (verb) an apple (object)”

Year 5 Languages Achievement Standard
By the end of Year 6, students initiate and use strategies to maintain interactions in Korean language that are related to their immediate environment. They use appropriate sound combinations, intonation and rhythm in spoken texts. They collaborate in spoken and written activities that involve the language of planning and problem-solving to share information, ideas and preferences. They use strategies to locate and interpret information and ideas in texts, and demonstrate understanding by responding in Korean or English, adjusting their response to context, purpose and audience. They create texts, selecting and using a variety of vocabulary and sentence structures to suit context. They sequence information and ideas, and write in hangeul, using conventions appropriate to text type. Students apply rules of hangeul sound combinations, pronunciation and intonation in spoken Korean. They apply conventions of punctuation and use modelled structures when creating and responding in Korean. They compare language structures and features in Korean and English, using some metalanguage. They show understanding of how some language reflects cultural practices and consider how this is reflected in their own language(s), culture(s) and identity.
