Content Descriptor

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

Elaborations

•
using metalanguage in Vietnamese or English to identify the grammatical differences between the languages such as word order, verb moods, tenses hiện tại hoàn thành/present perfect, mạo từ sở hữu/possessive pronouns, tính từ và phân từ sở hữu/agreements of adjectives and participles, động từ bỗ trợ/auxiliary verbs
• exploring different types of texts such as recounts, emails, diary and advertisements, and analysing the relationships between audience, purpose, context and language features to predict the meaning of unfamiliar vocabulary
• exploring the ways in which content is developed in different types of texts, and how ideas and information are sequenced, for example, headings, paragraphing, topic sentences, elaborations, and topic/idea shifts
•
understanding the use of text conventions such as culturally appropriate salutations and forms of address that depend on relationship or social status in specific text types such as letters, speeches or interviews, for example, kính thưa/thưa/thân mến/thương mến/kính chào/chào
•
identifying and comparing language features of different text types, for example, the use of first person such as mình/tô, descriptive khoẻ mạnh/thông minh/hiền lành and emotive language vui mừng/hạnh phúc in personal recounts and diary entries
•
recognising differences in Vietnamese and English responses to negative tag questions to avoid misinterpretation, for example, the response to the question, Em chưa làm bài tập về nhà phải không? You haven’t done your homework, have you?, would be Dạ phải. Em chưa làm. Yes, I haven’t, while in English it would be, No, I haven’t.

Achievement Standard This Supports

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.
