This work sample demonstrates evidence of student learning in relation to aspects of the achievement standards for Year 7 - 8 Italian: Class speaking and writing assessment. The primary purpose for the work sample is to demonstrate the standard, so the focus is on what is evident in the sample not how it was created. The sample is an authentic representation of student work and may contain errors such as spelling mistakes and other inaccuracies. In this work sample students: • use Italian language to interact and collaborate with others • respond to others’ contributions, and recognise familiar gestures, questions and instructions in exchanges • locate and respond to information in texts and use non-verbal, visual and contextual cues to help make meaning • respond in Italian or English, and demonstrate understanding of context, purpose and audience in texts • use familiar language, and modelled sentence and grammatical structures to create texts, and demonstrate understanding of how some language reflects cultural practices • approximate Italian sound patterns, intonation and rhythms, and demonstrate understanding that Italian has conventions and rules for non-verbal, spoken and written communication • comment on aspects of Italian and English language structures and features, using metalanguage.
