Year 9 Languages Achievement Standard
By the end of Year 10, students use their knowledge of [Classical Language] to interpret and analyse information from a range of texts and sources about ancient [Country/City] society and culture. They apply strategies to translate and interpret [Classical Language] texts into English and demonstrate understanding of how language conveys cultural meaning. Students apply [Classical Language] sound-script relationships and use restored pronunciation when reading familiar and unfamiliar texts aloud. They select and apply [Classical Language] grammatical conventions and rules when translating and responding to texts. They explain how [Classical Language] has influenced English vocabulary and analyse language structures and features, using metalanguage. They demonstrate understanding that the language, texts and artefacts from Ancient [Country/City] are connected with culture and identity and reflect on the interrelationship of language(s), culture(s) and identity.
