Year 3 Languages Achievement Standard

By the end of Year 4, students use [Language] language to initiate structured interactions to share information related to Country/Place, 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. Students reproduce sound combinations and rhythms of spoken [Language]. They demonstrate understanding that [Language] 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 [Language] and make comparisons between [Language] and English. They understand that the [Language] language is passed down from generation to generation by its Custodians and connected with culture and identity. They identify how this is reflected in their own language(s), culture(s) and identity.
