locate, with support, key information in familiar texts, and respond using gestures, images, words and formulaic phrases

Elaborations

  • listening to, reading or viewing familiar Vietnamese texts and identifying key words, for example, in stories such as Mười hai con giáp, in rhymes such as Thằng Bờm and in cartoons such as Thỏ con vâng lời mẹ

  • drawing and labelling a character or scene from rhymes, songs or stories such as Thỏ và rùa, Cô bé quàng khăn đỏ

  • identifying and using expressions to recreate a story or information, using prompts such as objects, pictures or cut-outs
  • recognising that gestures and body language are integral to communicating in language for First Nations Australians, and showing examples of how they are also integral to communicating in Vietnamese and the language(s) they may speak at home
  • identifying a favourite character, using modelled language when necessary, for example, Con thích con bướm vàng vì con thích màu vàng, Con thích con rùa vì nó chăm chỉ. Con không thích con chó sói vì nó dữ quá.

  • participating in shared reading (big books, etc.) of informative or imaginative texts and responding to questions, for example, Câu chuyện này xảy ra ở đâu/nói về điều gì? Trong truyện này gồm có những ai/các con vật nào? Chuyện gì xảy ra? Kết thúc ra sao?

  • making connections between a simplified Vietnamese text and self, for example, responding to the story Thỏ và Rùa by saying, Tôi là con rùa. Tôi chậm chạp nhưng tôi về đích trước.

Year 1 Languages Achievement Standard
By the end of Year 2, students use Vietnamese language to interact and share information related to the classroom and themselves. They use cues to respond to questions and instructions, and use simple formulaic language. They locate and convey key items of information in texts, using non-verbal, visual and contextual cues to help make meaning. They recognise tone marks and use familiar words and modelled language to create texts. They copy letters and tone marks to make words. Students imitate the sounds, tones and rhythms of spoken Vietnamese. They demonstrate understanding that Vietnamese has rules for non-verbal communication, pronunciation and writing. They give examples of similarities and differences between some features of Vietnamese and English. They understand that language is connected with culture, and notice how this is reflected in their own language(s) and culture(s).
