Pre-primary year syllabus
Year Level Description
Students enter the early years of school with established communication skills in one or more languages and varying degrees of early literacy capability. Typically, students come to Indonesian: Second Language with little to no prior experience of the Indonesian language and culture.
In Pre-primary students communicate in Indonesian, interacting and exchanging greetings and simple information about themselves with their teacher and peers, through action-related talk and structured play. They participate in shared activities using simple, repetitive key words, movement and songs or to respond to teacher talk and instruction in Indonesian. Students recognise pictures, key words and phrases and written Indonesian in rhymes, songs and titles and convey factual information about themselves, using gestures and familiar words. They engage by listening to and viewing short imaginative texts, through action and other forms of expression and participate in shared performance of short imaginative texts, playing with sound patterns and non-verbal forms of expression.
Students become familiar with the systems of Indonesian language, experimenting with reproducing the vowel sounds and the letters of spoken Indonesian as modelled by the teacher. They notice and use context-related vocabulary and recognise some first elements of grammar to generate language for purposeful interaction.
In Pre-primary students recognise that while English is the official language spoken in Australia, Indonesian is one of many languages, including Aboriginal languages and Torres Strait Islander languages, which is spoken in Australia. They also notice similarities and differences between Indonesian and English and begin to develop curiosity around the ideas of language and culture. Creative play in the classroom provides opportunities for exploring these differences.
Students learn Indonesian in the early years through rich language input. Regular opportunities to revisit, recycle and review, and continuous feedback, response and encouragement assist students in the language learning process.

Achievement standard
At standard, students interact in Indonesian with their teacher and each other through action-related talk, structured play, classroom instructions and routines to exchange simple greetings, such as Selamat pagi, and to provide simple information about themselves, such as Nama saya Ben. They participate in shared performance of familiar stories and songs, and make meaning using verbal and non-verbal forms of expression. Students identify most key words and some phrases of spoken Indonesian relating to their personal worlds and convey most simple, factual information, with guidance, using verbal and non-verbal forms of expression. They participate in shared performance of imaginative texts, such as familiar songs and rhymes and respond, with guidance, using verbal and non-verbal forms of expression. Students share with others familiar Indonesian words, phrases and gestures related to their personal worlds. They explore how familiar Indonesian words may have similar or different meanings in English and begin to talk about how Indonesian feels/sounds different when speaking or hearing it spoken.
Students experiment with reproducing the sound of the vowels, letters and rhythms of spoken Indonesian with a satisfactory level of accuracy. They write simple texts, such as lists and labels, using vocabulary and some first elements of grammar with a satisfactory level of accuracy. Students greet and farewell others and describe actions using simple verbs, such as makan, duduk, minum and tidur. They refer to numbers of things using cardinal numbers, such as nol-sepuluh, respond to different question words, such as Siapa? and Apa? and provide the anticipated answer. They comment on how language is organised as ‘text.’ Students recognise that Indonesian is one of many languages spoken in Australia and around the world, and that there are different ways of greeting, addressing and interacting with people, and usually act accordingly. Students begin to develop curiosity around the ideas of language and culture.
