Indonesian / Year 3 and 4 / Communicating / Translating
Version 8
Curriculum content descriptions
Translate using textual cues such as pictures, layout and key words to predict meaning, and comment on the non-equivalence of words due to cultural differences
[Key concepts: gist, meaning; Key processes: translating, predicting]
(ACLINC025)
Elaborations
- translating Indonesian texts such as public signs to understand gist and noticing how meaning changes when translating into English such as sense of politeness
- identifying and explaining expressions which do not easily translate into English, for example, Selamat siang, Sudah mandi?
- comparing translations of Indonesian creative works (such as an advertisement, anthem or extract of a wayang script), noticing how words such as Tanah Air, sedikit-sedikit have more than a literal meaning
