Content Descriptor

apply knowledge of conventions of spoken Vietnamese to enhance fluency, and to respond to and create texts in familiar and some unfamiliar contexts

Elaborations

•
applying Vietnamese pronunciation and spelling rules to own speech and writing to pronounce and spell new words encountered in interactions and texts, for example, if the spelling of the word mười is known, then the spelling of the word người can be determined without knowing its meaning
•
experimenting with intonation patterns to distinguish different types of sentences, for example, a statement Con không đi chơi đâu.; a question Con không đi chơi đâu?; and an exclamation Con không đi chơi đâu!
•
distinguishing and making nuances in pronunciation and spelling between some similar diphthongs and triphthongs, for example, chiều cao and cây cau, lỗ mũi and con muỗi, cái túi and trái chuối
• developing features of spoken Vietnamese, including intonation, tone and stress, to increase fluency and enhance expression in a range of activities such as listening to and repeating pronunciation using digital tools, reading aloud and conversing with a wide range of people
• listening to short interactions between unfamiliar voices at diverse speeds or levels of clarity to develop auditory and comprehension skills
• developing strategies to understand meaning when listening to diverse regional Vietnamese accents, for example, inferring meaning from the context
•
practising ways in which tone varies according to setting and context, for example, saying the same sentence in different tones to (friendly/unfriendly, respectful/ironic, etc.) to change the meaning, such as Hôm nay, em tới sớm thế!

Year 7 Languages Achievement Standard

By the end of Year 8, students initiate and maintain interactions in Vietnamese language in familiar and some unfamiliar contexts related to a range of interests and experiences. They use Vietnamese to collaborate and problem-solve, and adjust language in response to others. They interpret information, ideas and opinions in texts. They demonstrate understanding of similarities and differences between languages, in both familiar and some unfamiliar cultural contexts, by adjusting and reorganising responses. They select and use vocabulary sentence structures, and expressions to create texts. Students apply the conventions of spoken Vietnamese to develop fluency. They demonstrate understanding that spoken, written and multimodal texts use different language conventions, structures and features to convey meaning. They comment on structures and features of Vietnamese text, using metalanguage. They reflect on how the Vietnamese language, culture and identity are interconnected, and compare this with their own language(s), culture(s) and identity.
