Elaborations

• identifying and comparing the language features of different text types in Vietnamese and English, such as descriptive language in narratives or persuasive language in advertisements
•
discussing aspects of grammar using metalanguage in Vietnamese or English, for example, danh từ/noun, động từ/verb, tính từ/adjective, chủ ngữ/subject, vị ngữ/predicate
• comparing the structural features of familiar personal, informative and imaginative Vietnamese and English texts, for example, dates on diary entries and letters, greetings in emails or conversations, and titles of stories
• comparing different types of texts, such as recipes, songs, stories, recounts or conversations to identify audience and purpose used in both Vietnamese and English
•
understanding how to create textual cohesion by using elements such as adverbs of sequence, for example, thứ nhất, thứ nhì, trước tiên, kế đến, rồi, sau cùng, and conjunctions, for example, và, với, hay, hoặc, vì, nhưng, to sequence and link ideas, and comparing how these work with English
•
creating comparative lists of vocabulary, in Vietnamese and English, which can be used in different contexts, for example, the use of imperatives in a set of instructions, Đứng lên! Ngồi xuống! Mở tập ra! Nghe và lặp lại, or the frequent use of time and place markers, ngày xửa ngày xưa, hôm qua, hôm nay, ngày mai, tuần tới in narratives

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.
