•
understanding and reproducing Vietnamese words with different tone markers and pitch, for example, thương, thường, thưởng, thượng
• using digital tools to check the correct pronunciation of Vietnamese and using voice-recording apps to check their own tone and intonation to develop fluency

Year 5 Languages Achievement Standard

By the end of Year 6, students initiate and use strategies to maintain interactions in Vietnamese language that are related to their immediate environment. They use appropriate sounds, tones, intonation and rhythm in spoken texts. They collaborate in spoken and written activities that involve the language of planning and problem-solving to share information, ideas and preferences. They use strategies to locate and interpret information and ideas in texts, and demonstrate understanding by responding in Vietnamese or English, adjusting their response to context, purpose and audience. They create texts, selecting and using a variety of vocabulary and sentence structures to suit context. They sequence information and ideas, and use conventions appropriate to text type. Students apply rules for pronunciation and intonation in spoken Vietnamese. They apply conventions of spelling and punctuation, and use modelled structures, when creating and responding in Vietnamese. They compare language structures and features in Vietnamese and English, using some metalanguage. They show understanding of how some language reflects cultural practices and consider how this is reflected in their own language(s), culture(s) and identity.
