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).
