Curriculum content descriptions
reflect on and evaluate Chinese texts, using metalanguage to analyse language structures and features (AC9LC10U03)
Elaborations
- identifying features of text structure (layout, expression, tone, etc.) and rhetorical devices (metaphor, exaggeration, etc.) used to convey a persuasive argument or position, and comparing this with English text types and structures
- applying knowledge of the interrelationship between language elements, structure, contexts, purpose and audience to a range of texts, for example, applying understanding of genre to determine the purpose and intended message of texts such as in a diary, letter or advertisement
- exploring the ways in which language can be manipulated to make ideas more objective, such as the removal of personal pronouns and opinions
- examining the use of 的 as a subject modifier to express ideas that would contain relative clauses in English, for example, 我昨天买的书不太贵
- describing orthographic features of new characters encountered, using metalanguage, including the structure, sequence and relationship of components, and explaining connections evident between form, sound and meaning
- viewing different types of texts on similar topics and recognising differences, especially the language used, in discourse of spoken and written texts such as 昨天街上人很多, 昨天街上人山人海
