Year 6 Syllabus
Year Level Description
Year 6 Indonesian: Second Language builds on the skills, knowledge and understanding required of students to communicate in the Indonesian language developed in Year 5 and focuses on extending their oral and written communication skills and their understandings of Indonesian language and culture. Students gain greater independence and become more conscious of their peers and social context. As they gain a greater awareness of the world around them they also become more aware of the similarities and differences between the Indonesian language and culture and their own.
Students communicate in Indonesian, initiating interactions with others to exchange information and relate experiences about free time. They participate in routine exchanges to express feelings, opinions and personal preferences about people, things and places. Students collaborate with peers in guided tasks to plan events or activities or to showcase their progress in learning and using Indonesian. They gather, compare and respond to information and supporting details from a range of written, spoken, digital and multimodal texts related to their personal and social worlds and convey information, ideas and opinions, selecting appropriate texts to suit specific audiences and contexts. Students share and compare responses to a variety of imaginative texts. They create or reinterpret, present or perform alternative versions of imaginative texts for different audiences to suit different modes or contexts.
Students are becoming more familiar with the systems of the Indonesian language, applying the conventions to pronunciation of unfamiliar loan words from English. They use context-related vocabulary and develop and apply knowledge of grammatical elements in simple spoken and written texts to generate new language for a range of purposes such as using adjectives to describe people, activities and things. Students build a metalanguage in Indonesian to describe patterns, grammatical rules and variations in language structures.
Students understand that the Indonesian language is constantly changing due to contact with other languages and to the impact of new technologies and knowledge. They also understand that language and culture are integral to the nature of identity and communication.
In Year 6 students continue to widen their social networks, experiences and communication repertoires in both their first language and Indonesian. They are encouraged to use Indonesian as much as possible for interactions, structured learning tasks and language experimentation and practice.

Achievement standard
At standard, students initiate, with guidance, interactions in Indonesian with others through collaborative tasks, class experiences, activities and transactions, to exchange information and relate experiences about free time. They use mostly descriptive and expressive language to express feelings, opinions and personal preferences, such as Teman saya baik hati dan lucu. Students collaborate with peers in guided tasks to plan events or activities to showcase their progress in learning and using Indonesian, developing projects or budgeting for a shared event. Students gather, compare and respond to most information and some supporting details from texts related to their personal and social worlds and they convey information, ideas and opinions, selecting appropriate texts to suit specific audiences and contexts. Students share and compare with some guidance, responses to characters, events and ideas, and identify several cultural elements in a variety of imaginative texts. They create or present, occasionally with guidance, simple alternative versions of imaginative texts for different audiences, adapting elements for different modes or contexts. They translate and interpret short texts from Indonesian to English and vice versa, recognising that words and meanings do not always correspond across languages, and with guidance, give examples where necessary, to assist meaning. Students experiment with and discuss the usefulness of various forms of dictionaries. They engage in intercultural experiences, describing some aspects of language and culture that are unfamiliar and discuss their own reactions and adjustments.
Students apply the pronunciation of phonemes and of loan words from English with a satisfactory level of accuracy. They generate simple spoken and written texts by using a range of vocabulary and applying the knowledge of grammatical elements with a satisfactory level of accuracy. Students use adjectives to describe people, activities and things, and describe frequency using adverbs. They create cohesion using conjunctions, and refer to relationships between people and things using prepositions. Students express reactions with exclamations, locate events in time and use days of the week and months. They compare and evaluate using comparatives and superlatives. Students extend subject-focus construction by adding prepositions or adverbs to subject-verb-object word order, and describe actions using ber- and me- verbs. Students describe with guidance, how the Indonesian language works, describing patterns, grammatical rules and variations in language structures. They discuss how Indonesian texts use language in ways that create different effects and suit different audiences, and explain how the Indonesian language is used differently in different contexts and situations. Students discuss how the Indonesian language is constantly changing due to contact with other languages and to the impact of new technologies and knowledge, and explain how language and culture are integral to the nature of identity and communication.
