Elaborations

•
recognising and using rhythm in complex sentences, using pauses and intonation to signal clause boundaries and emphasis, for example, Con thích cái áo mà mẹ tặng cho con hôm sinh nhật vừa rồi.
•
applying knowledge of pronunciation, intonation, tone and pace to own use of spoken Vietnamese for a range of social interactions, such as asking questions or expressing emotions, for example, expressing happiness, sadness, surprise or excitement in Bạn đi Việt Nam một mình hả? Thiệt không? Thật là tuyệt vời! Thiệt là bất ngờ!
•
understanding 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
•
recognising that tone of voice can indicate the relationship between speakers, convey emotion and shape meaning, for example, distinguishing between a compliment and irony in the exclamatory sentence Hôm nay em đến sớm thế!
• experimenting with intonation and stress, improving coherence and increasing expressive range by singing popular Vietnamese songs or by reading out loud from unfamiliar texts such as newspapers, novels, reports
• identifying the people and factors that influence their own Vietnamese language use and speech patterns, such as parents, teachers, peers and films

Year 9 Languages Achievement Standard

By the end of Year 10, students contribute to and extend interactions in Vietnamese 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 features to enhance meaning and cohesion. Students incorporate the features and conventions of spoken Vietnamese 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 Vietnamese texts, using metalanguage. They reflect on their own cultural perspectives and identity, and draw on their experience of learning Vietnamese, to evaluate how this learning influences their ideas and ways of communicating.
