Understanding systems of language

This Content Descriptor from Year 3 Languages provides the specific knowledge and skills students should learn. Use it to plan lessons, create learning sequences, and design assessments that align with the Australian Curriculum v9.

Content Descriptor

recognise and use modelled sounds, tones, pronunciation and intonation patterns of Vietnamese to form words and phrases

Elaborations

•
exploring the Vietnamese sound system and making connections between letters, sounds and tone markers in words, for example, adding or changing tone markers to form new words: co, cò, có, cỏ, cọ
•
recognising common Vietnamese sounds in words, such as nguyên âm đôi, and using spelling strategies to identify and produce words that have the same sounds, for example, ao: áo, táo, vào and ơi: chơi, với, tới
•
identifying sounds such as nguyên âm đôi (diphthongs) and nguyên âm ba (triphthongs), and vần điệu (rhyming patterns) when listening to Vietnamese songs, and grouping words according to their pronunciation and sounds, for example, uơi: cười, tươi, người and iên: liền, miền, điền, tiền
•
practising tonal language that uses 5 tone markers, understanding that the pronunciation of words changes the meaning, for example, tai, tái, tài, tại, tải
• practising Vietnamese intonation and rhythm, for example, singing or reciting poems or sections of texts in a group

Year 3 Languages Achievement Standard

By the end of Year 4, students use Vietnamese language to initiate structured interactions to share information related to the classroom and their personal worlds. They use modelled language to participate in spoken and written activities that involve planning. They locate and respond to key items of information in texts, using strategies to help interpret and convey meaning in familiar contexts. They use modelled language, and basic syntax to create texts. Students imitate sounds, tones, pronunciation and intonation patterns of spoken Vietnamese. They demonstrate understanding that Vietnamese has non-verbal, spoken and written language conventions and rules to create and make meaning. They recognise that some terms have cultural meanings. They identify patterns in Vietnamese and make comparisons between Vietnamese and English. They understand that the Vietnamese language is connected with culture, and identify how this is reflected in their own language(s) and culture(s).
