Year 9 Syllabus
Year Level Description
Year 9 Indonesian: Second Language builds on the skills, knowledge and understanding required of students to communicate in the Indonesian language developed in Year 8 and focuses on extending their oral and written communication skills and their understandings of Indonesian language and culture.
Students communicate in Indonesian, initiating and participating in sustained interactions to share, compare and justify personal opinions about aspects of childhood, teenage life and relationships. They engage in shared activities such as planning and managing activities, events or experiences, exchanging resources and information. Students analyse ideas and information from a range of texts, identifying context, purpose and intended audience. They convey information and ideas and offer their own views on texts, using appropriate formats and styles of presentation. Students discuss how imaginative texts reflect Indonesian cultural values or experiences. They create and present imaginative texts designed to engage different audiences that involve moods and effects.
Students understand the systems of the Indonesian language, recognising pronunciation and intonation conventions when creating emphasis. They increase control of context-related vocabulary and extend knowledge of grammatical elements such as using compound nouns, acronyms and abbreviations, imagery, metaphor and simile in a range of spoken and written texts. Students further develop a metalanguage to describe and increase control of grammatical concepts and language elements to discuss and explain grammatical forms and functions.
Students increasingly monitor language choices when using Indonesian, considering their own and others’ responses and reactions in intercultural communication, questioning assumptions and values and taking responsibility for modifying language and behaviours in relation to different cultural perspectives.
In Year 9 learning is characterised by consolidation and progression. Students are provided with new challenges and engage in some independent learning experiences, always supported by modelling, scaffolding and monitoring.

Students engage in shared activities, such as the planning and managing of activities, events or experiences, exchanging resources and information.

They provide examples of how imaginative texts reflect Indonesian cultural values or experiences through structure, language and mood, to build action, develop character and position the reader or audience. Students create and present simple imaginative texts with moods and effects, in order to engage different audiences. They translate and interpret, with some inaccuracies, a range of texts, and discuss how to convey concepts that do not translate easily across different linguistic and cultural contexts. Students monitor their language choices when using Indonesian and, at times, consider their own and others’ responses and reactions in intercultural communication. They question some assumptions and values, and occasionally modify language and behaviours in relation to different cultural perspectives. Students also investigate and share family and cultural traditions and experiences, considering how these have shaped, and continue to shape, personal and cultural identity.
