Content Descriptor

develop and begin to apply strategies to interpret, translate and convey meaning in Korean in familiar contexts

Elaborations

• translating short personal texts, identifying words and phrases, and noticing similarities and differences in language use such as formality, for example, 안녕하세요? versus 안녕?
• using bilingual dictionaries and online translation tools to identify words that do not have equivalents, such as ‘to wear’ in English, and 입어요 (wear on the body), 써요 (wear on the head), 신어요 (wear on the feet), or ‘to open’ in English, and 창문을 열어요 (open a window), 눈을 뜨세요 (please open your eyes)
• listening to and viewing performances such as music video clips or extracts from films, sharing reactions with peers, noticing cultural aspects and recording similarities and differences in interactions in similar contexts in their own culture/s
• discussing how cultural concepts are expressed in non-literal word use, for example, 우리 ‘our’ can be used to express inclusivity, as in 우리 집 ‘my house’, 우리 학교 ‘my/our school’
• designing signage, posters and flashcards, displaying items, for example, names of classroom objects, 책, 의자, 책상, 가방, 연필, 지우개, 필통

Year 7 Languages Achievement Standard

By the end of Year 8, students use Korean 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 recognise relationships between spoken and written forms. They locate and respond to information in texts and use non-verbal, visual and contextual cues to help make meaning. They respond in Korean 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 in hangeul, with support. Students approximate pronunciation and intonation in spoken Korean. They recognise the function of hangeul and demonstrate understanding that Korean has conventions and rules for non-verbal, spoken and written communication. They comment on aspects of Korean and English language structures and features, using metalanguage. They demonstrate awareness that the Korean language is connected with culture and identity, and that this is reflected in their own language(s), culture(s) and identity.
