Year 9 Syllabus
Year Level Description
Year 9 Indonesian: Second Language builds on the skills, knowledge and understanding required of students to communicate in Indonesian developed in Year 8 and focuses on extending their oral and written communication skills and their understandings of Indonesian language and culture. They expand the range and nature of their learning experiences, and the contexts within which they communicate with others.
Students communicate in Indonesian, initiating and maintaining interactions with others to discuss and compare events of significance in the lives of young people, including holidays, special events and travel. They engage in individual and collaborative tasks that involve exchanging information, making arrangements or obtaining goods or services. Students identify information and ideas from texts related to aspects of their personal and social worlds, comparing views and presenting information to inform or interest others. They convey information, ideas and opinions using different modes of presentation that take account of context, purpose and audience. Students respond to traditional and/or contemporary imaginative texts by summarising, expressing opinions, or modifying aspects. They create imaginative texts to inform or entertain, or to convey experiences or express ideas.
Students better understand the systems of the Indonesian language when encountered in spoken and written texts. They understand and use the features of the Indonesian sound system, including the pronunciation of compound and polysyllabic words. They generate language for a range of purposes in spoken and written texts by extending their understanding and use of context-related vocabulary and elements of the Indonesian grammatical system, including comparatives, interrogative and question words, affixation and nominalisation. Students continue to build a metalanguage in Indonesian to talk about vocabulary and grammar concepts. They engage with Indonesian speakers and texts, reflecting on how interaction involves culture as well as language, and being aware of audience and context.
In Year 9 learning is characterised by consolidation and progression. Students work increasingly independently to analyse, reflect on and monitor their language learning and intercultural experiences; however, they still require guidance through modelling, scaffolding and monitoring.

Achievement standard
At standard, students use mostly familiar language when participating in spoken and written interactions in Indonesian to describe and discuss events of significance in the lives of young people, and to reflect on learning experiences. They identify and present information and ideas, opinions and views in Indonesian texts to inform or interest others and convey these considering audience, purpose and context. They attempt to modify aspects of Indonesian imaginative texts and adapt familiar language to create own imaginative texts that convey experiences and ideas, to inform or entertain. When translating and interpreting texts, students identify how culture is embedded in language and they describe differences in meaning. They identify aspects of language, culture, personal identity and experiences of learning Indonesian, and how these may help when engaging with Indonesian speakers and texts.
Students use, with a high level of accuracy and consistency, most features of the Indonesian sound system. When speaking and writing in Indonesian, they use familiar vocabulary related to events of significance in the lives of young people, and use elements of grammar, spelling and punctuation, with a satisfactory level of accuracy. Students use some metalanguage to describe grammatical forms and functions. They describe the relationship between text structures and language features in texts. Students identify varying ways Indonesian language and culture are used to establish relationships and in intercultural exchange.
