Elaborations

•
sustaining interactions with others by acknowledging, asking for repetition or clarification or questioning further, for example, Συγγνώμη, δεν καταλαβαίνω. Τι είπατε; Μπορείτε να το επαναλάβετε, σας παρακαλώ; and responding appropriately, for example, όπως έλεγα πριν, σίγουρα ...
•
interviewing peers to extract information and evaluate views about aspects of life such as school, future aspirations and relationships, and discussing the major themes and concerns that emerge, for example, Τι γνώμη έχετε για τη σχολική στολή; Τι θέλεις να κάνεις όταν τελειώσεις το σχολείο; Ποιες είναι οι φιλοδοξίες σου για το μέλλον;
•
sharing opinions with peers about events and interests, and incorporating language to express emotions and responses such as approval, gratitude, regret and appreciation, for example, Ωραία! Σε/σας ευχαριστώ, Λυπάμαι / δυστυχώς, Δεν μπορώ, Σύμφωνοι, Ποια είναι η γνώμη σου για το θέμα αυτό;
•
exchanging information with peers, in Greek-speaking contexts such as emails or secure discussion forums, about aspects of school, youth lifestyle and social issues, using comparisons when expressing thoughts and ideas, for example, Τι κάνεις τον ελεύθερο χρόνο σου; Πόσο διαρκούν οι διακοπές σας; Πιστεύεις ότι είναι καλύτερα να ... Πώς διασκεδάζουν οι νέοι; Θέλω να πάω διακοπές, Πού θα πας το Σάββατο;
•
interacting in role-plays relating to travel and what to do in certain situations, such as dealing with lost property, asking for directions, asking about transport, asking for recommendations, complaining about services, for example, Έχασα το κινητό μου. Μπορείτε να με βοηθήσετε σας παρακαλώ; Πού μπορούμε να βρούμε καλή μπουγάτσα; Πού είναι ο σταθμός των τρένων;

Year 9 Languages Achievement Standard

By the end of Year 10, students contribute to and extend interactions in Greek language in increasingly unfamiliar contexts related to a wide range of interests and issues. They interpret texts by evaluating and synthesising information, ideas and perspectives. They show understanding of how features of language can be used to influence audience response. They create texts, selecting and manipulating language for a range of contexts, purposes and audiences. They apply and use complex sentences and structures to create and respond to spoken and written texts. They use a variety of tenses to sequence events and use language devices to enhance meaning and cohesion. Students incorporate the features and conventions of spoken Greek to extend fluency. They demonstrate understanding of the conventions of spoken and written texts and the connections between them. They apply knowledge of language structures and features to make and predict meaning. They support analysis of Greek texts, using metalanguage. They reflect on their own cultural perspectives and identity, and draw on their experience of learning Greek, to evaluate how this learning influences their ideas and ways of communicating.
