reflect on and evaluate Turkish texts, using metalanguage to discuss language structures and features

Elaborations

  • • using metalanguage, in Turkish or English, to identify grammatical differences between languages, for example, word orders, tenses, verb forms, pronouns
  • • understanding and developing metalanguage for talking about forms and functions of language, for example, identifying and explaining different types of sentence structures relating to grammatical functions such as predicates, subjects and objects
  • •

    identifying ways that Turkish and English texts achieve cohesion, for example, explaining the effects of paragraphing or cohesive devices used to sequence and link ideas, and maintain the flow of expression, for example, konu cümlesi, giriş, gelişme ve sonuç paragrafları, ‘İlk olarak, Bununla beraber, Bu nedenle’ gibi bağlaçlar

  • • identifying the intended purpose and audience of texts by analysing language features and text structures, such as colourful and persuasive language in advertisements compared with economical, factual language in product labelling or signage, and applying their understanding to the composition of their own texts
  • • analysing the use of rhetorical devices and emotive language to engage the intended audience in texts such as slogans or speeches

Year 9 ASLANTUR7_10Y910
Year 9 Languages Achievement Standard
By the end of Year 10, students initiate and sustain Turkish language to exchange and compare ideas and experiences about their own and others’ personal worlds. They communicate using non-verbal, spoken and written language to collaborate, plan and reflect on activities and events. They interpret and analyse information and ideas in texts and demonstrate understanding of different perspectives. They synthesise information and respond in Turkish or English, adjusting language to convey meaning and to suit context, purpose and audience. They use structures and features of spoken and written Turkish to create texts. Students apply features and conventions of spoken Turkish to enhance fluency. They select and apply knowledge of language conventions, structures and features to interact, make meaning and create texts. They support discussion of structures and features of texts, using metalanguage. They reflect on their own language use and cultural identity, and draw on their experience of learning Turkish, to discuss how this learning influences their ideas and ways of communicating.
