Curriculum content descriptions
Recognise the sounds and tones of spoken Vietnamese, and notice how they are represented in words and symbols
[Key concepts: sound systems, writing systems; Key process: recognising]
(ACLVIU117)
Elaborations
- identifying the 29 letters of the Vietnamese alphabet by their names and sounds as well as the five tone markers
- building phonic awareness by recognising and experimenting with sounds and rhythms, focusing on letters that are similar in the English alphabet but produce different sounds in Vietnamese, for example, e and i, d and đ
- developing pronunciation, phrasing and intonation skills by singing, reciting and repeating words and phrases
- noticing that Vietnamese is a tonal language, and that pitch changes affect the meaning of words
- understanding that although Vietnamese and English use the same alphabet there are additional symbols/markers that create more letters in Vietnamese
- developing familiarity with similarities and differences in Vietnamese sound–letter correspondence, such as a, ă, â; e, ê; o, ô, ơ; u, ư; as well as c and k, i and y, s and x, and ch and tr
- noticing that the same word with different tone markers has different meanings, for example, ma, mà, má, mả, mã and mạ
- exploring Vietnamese spelling strategies such as grouping words according to initial letters that represent particular sounds, for example, h (hoa hồng, hát, học) or m (mẹ, má, mèo)
- using single and consonant clusters, vowels and vowel clusters with tone markers to form and spell words, for example, ta, la, tha, nga
- recognising and using lower and upper case letters
