Elaborations

recognising the differences in intonation between statements such as Con không đi chơi đâu., questions Con không đi chơi đâu à? and exclamations Con không đi chơi đâu!
•
applying appropriate pauses and intonation to signal clause boundaries and emphasis, for example, Em thích học môn tiếng Việt vì lớp rất vui.
•
identifying variations in pronunciation from different regions such as North, Central and South, for example, different ways of pronouncing dấu hỏi and dấu ngã, s and x, ch as tr, v/gi and d, and final consonants such as -t and -c in khuôn mặt and mặc áo
• understanding that spelling follows standardised rules even though there are some variations in Vietnamese pronunciation across different regions of Vietnam
•
recognising the challenges of communication associated with clarity and pace in audio texts in certain situations, such as station or airport announcements or recorded phone messages, for example, Thưa quý khách, chuyến bay VA123 sẽ khởi hành trong vòng ít phút nữa
• developing features of spoken Vietnamese, including intonation, tone and stress, to increase fluency and enhance expression in a range of activities such as listening to and repeating pronunciation using digital tools
• experimenting with intonation and stress, improving coherence and increasing expressive range by singing popular Vietnamese songs or by reading aloud from unfamiliar texts, for example, newspapers, novels, reports

Year 9 ASLANVIE7_10Y910

Year 9 Languages Achievement Standard

By the end of Year 10, students initiate and sustain Vietnamese 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 Vietnamese or English, adjusting language to convey meaning and to suit context, purpose and audience. They use structures and features of spoken and written Vietnamese to create texts. Students apply features and conventions of spoken Vietnamese 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 Vietnamese, to discuss how this learning influences their ideas and ways of communicating.
