Understanding systems of language
compare some French language structures and features with those of English, using some familiar metalanguage
Elaborations
- AC9LF6U03_E1talking about grammar, using metalanguage such as ‘tenses’ and ‘personal pronouns’, identifying language elements, and talking about how they are used
- AC9LF6U03_E2<p>comparing verb conjugations in English, French and other known languages and identifying patterns in conjugation, for example, understanding that regular verbs in English using the third singular personal pronoun he/she/it end with an 's'; however, in French verb endings follow a pattern and change according to the subject pronoun, for example, ‘<em>-er’</em> verb endings <em>j’écoute, tu écoutes, il/elle/on écoute, nous écoutons, vous écoutez, ils/elles écoutent</em></p>
- AC9LF6U03_E3<p>recognising <em>faux amis</em> and how they can lead to difficulty when learning French, for example, <em>coin</em> means ‘corner’, <em>journée</em> means ‘day’, <em>actuellement</em> means ‘currently’, <em>joli</em> means ‘pretty’, <em>pain</em> means ‘bread’, <em>bras </em>means ‘arm’</p>
- AC9LF6U03_E4providing feedback to support peers using metalanguage, for example, editing each other's written or spoken texts and work samples and justifying reasons for editing or changing text
- AC9LF6U03_E5using metalanguage to discuss features of familiar texts, for example, a shopping list serves as a reminder, a role-play at a market involves interaction and negotiation, an email or text message to a friend involves interaction and an exchange of information
