- accessing, organising and presenting information relating to aspects of Japanese culture (fashion, places in Japan, festivals, etc.) using supporting resources and providing a structured summary, for example, ふじさんです。たかいです。そして、ゆうめいです。かざんです。
- listening to a simple community announcement, such as a weather forecast for the week, and then writing an informal short message to a friend, for example, using modelled sentences to invite a friend to play, 土よう日ははれです。こうえんに行きましょうか。たのしいです。十じに行きます。
- listening to, or viewing First Nations Australian authors’ stories and responding to them using words, formulaic expressions and modelled sentences in Japanese
- inferring details, for example, listening to a conversation and inferring who is speaking depending on the formality of the language or viewing a clip of a shrine visit and answering questions including どこ、だれ、どうして、いつ、なに to interpret cultural practices
- extracting key points from a range of spoken, written or digital texts on topics such as healthy eating, school lunches, home or school routines, and discussing findings and comparing opinions, for example, 日本で子どもはがっこうのそうじをします。オーストラリアの子どもはがっこうのそうじをしません。
