Understand the dynamic nature of languages (VCESC016)

Recognise that Spanish is a global language that is spoken in a variety of forms in different communities around the world, including Australia (VCESC017)

Role of language and cultureRecognise the interconnected relationship between language and culture (VCESC018)

Achievement StandardBy the end of Level 8, students share information about their personal worlds, including personal details, family, friends, leisure activities, likes and dislikes, for example, Hola amigo, ¿Cómo estás? Me gusta tocar la guitarra, No me gusta comer carne. They interact with one another in shared activities, negotiations, games and events, using modelled language to ask and respond to familiar questions, give and respond to instructions (for example, Haz click sobre la imagen del monumento. Escoge la palabra correcta), request help or permission (for example, ¿Me puede ayudar…?, ¿Cómo se dice… en español? ¿Puedo ir a beber agua? ¿Salimos al recreo ya?), and express opinions (for example, Creo que… ¡Qué sorpresa!). When interacting, students approximate Spanish sounds and use intonation to distinguish between statements (for example, Juan estudia español), questions (for example, ¿Cómo se dice …?), exclamations (for example, Juan, ¡estudia español!) and requests (for example, ¿me das un chocolate?). They obtain factual information and identify key points from different sources, using non-verbal and contextual clues to help make meaning. They describe characters, experiences and ideas using high-frequency vocabulary, and create short informative and imaginative texts using modelled sentence structures and formulaic expressions. When constructing sentences, students apply gender and number agreement to definite and indefinite articles, nouns and adjectives (for example, la luna clara, los bolsos rojos, un amigo español, unas estudiantes extranjeras). Students apply grammatical rules in relation to conjugation of verbs (for example, La bicicleta roja tiene un cesto negro, Tenemos los libros de lectura amarillos), and use the two verbs for ‘to be’ (ser and estar) in modelled examples (for example, Eres española/Estás en Australia, Soy alto y delgado/Estoy en año 8). They apply Spanish writing conventions such as inverted question and exclamation marks (for example, ¡No me digas!). They work in Spanish and English to translate texts, and create simple bilingual texts. They describe their own experiences of using Spanish and explain how aspects of their identity influence their intercultural exchanges.Students identify and apply rules for pronunciation and grammar and use metalanguage in Spanish to explain basic features of language, texts and grammar, making connections with terms such as ‘verb’, ‘adjective’, noun’ and ‘agreement’ that are used in English learning, and incorporating concepts such as grammatical gender. They identify the need to adjust language to suit different situations and relationships (for example, ¡Hasta pronto Doña Clara!). Students describe the distribution of communities of Spanish speakers in different countries and regions and know that Spanish is spoken in a variety of forms in different communities. They identify how languages and cultures change through contact, and give examples of Spanish words used in English such as ‘patio’, ‘chocolate’ and words used in Spanish that are borrowed from other languages such as shopping, tiquet. They identify cultural aspects of language use that are reflected in everyday interactions such as emailing, text messaging, gift-giving and apologising (for example, Lo siento mucho Don Pedro).

Elaborations

In small groups, we share with peers the name of our favourite toys/games: Me gusta mi... pelota, bici,...(I like my... ball, bicycle...), noticing its gender.

They draw them and colour them, sticking them on a wall: masculine objects in blue and femenine names in pink.

The teacher provides the game '¿Quién soy?' (Who am I?) with things familiar to them, such as everyday objects and their favourite games. The students should try to describe every item with words in Spanish and mime. The student who guesses should give the article, that is, un libro, una bici. Card samples:

What are Spanish favourite toys/games? The teacher shows a presentation of the most popular presents that children wanted the previous Christmas. The students reflect: do they see many differences between Spanish-speakers and Australians?

Investigating other countries where Spanish is spoken and presenting information with graphs and a map in a short video clip or display (in groups, see worksheet 2).

Deciding on four or five countries (depending on the number of students) to plan and conduct a virtual trip that will be the groundwork for the planning of a Spanish 'fiesta'.

Planning and conducting that virtual trip in groups of 4 students. Each group works on different aspects of the country of their choice, deciding on which ones they would like to learn about, such as a traditional dish, a famous person, a festival, a landmark, everyday routines, the most popular sports, folk music... Examples of tasks include:

◦ A traditional dish: investigating about ingredients and elaboration and producing a bilingual text to explain the recipe (use of imperative).

◦ A famous person: investigating on that person and creating and performing an imagined interview (use of past, present and future).◦ A festival / landmark: investigating on it and producing a brochure with subtitles or captions...

Planning the Spanish 'fiesta': 'experts' on every aspect work together on the plan. Examples of tasks include:▪ Experts on traditional dishes compose a menu for the event.

▪ Experts on famous people plan a live show with interviews.▪ Experts on festivals / landmarks create a 'virtual travel agency' with brochures and displays...

Reflecting on similarities and differences among cultures.

Role of language and cultureUnderstand the role of language and culture in shaping cultural identity and consider how learning a second language encourages a broadening of perspectives (VCESC036)Achievement StandardBy the end of Level 10, students interact in written and spoken Spanish to communicate about personal experiences, relationships and aspirations, and broader local and global issues such as the environment, social media and tourism, including issues that pertain to Spanish-speaking countries. Learners interact with peers to makedecisions, solve problems, and negotiate and plan action in response to issues. When interacting, they use both rehearsed and spontaneous language and appropriate protocols (for example, Perdona, pero no estoy de acuerdo contigo porque …, me parece mejor … ¿qué os parece si…?) to express and compare opinions, share perspectives, and express agreement or disagreement (for example, Me parece que…, ¿qué les parece?, Que buena idea, me opongo). They apply rules of pronunciation, stress and intonation to a range of sentence types. They locate, summarise and analyse information from a range of texts, and communicate different perspectives and information in a range of contexts using different modes of presentation. They respond to and create personal, descriptive, informative and imaginative texts for different purposes, audiences and contexts using appropriate Spanish writing conventions. They use grammatical elements including present, imperfect, past and future tenses, reflexive verbs, and the subjunctive mood to express emotion (for example, Como chocolate todos los días, Fui al parque ayer, Salíamos a bailar los fines de semana, Estudiaré informática en la universidad). They use appropriate forms of possessive adjectives in own language production, as well as cohesive devices and prepositions to create cohesion and interest. They use relative pronouns (for example, El programa que miraba era cómico), relative clauses (for example, Mi amigo chileno me ha dicho que quiere venir con nosotras al cine) and adverbial phrases (for example, a la derecha,con frecuencia) to extend and elaborate their written texts. They work in Spanish and English to translate and create bilingual texts, explaining words or expressions that are culturally specific such as tapas, adobe, vaquero, Vive en el quinto pino, … más largo que un día sin pan. They describe their own reactions in intercultural exchanges and explain how their own assumptions and identity influence their language use.Students identify differences in accent and pronunciation across the Spanish-speaking world, such as the use of ceceo and seseo in different regions and countries. They use metalanguage to explain features of language (formal and informal language) and grammar (for example, las formas negativas, el futuro próximo con el verbo ir, masculino, femenino, singular, plural), and for reflecting on the experience of Spanish language and culture learning. They identify relationships between parts of words (prefixes and suffixes) and stems of words (for example, desagradable, la camioneta, la reconciliación), and how word patterns connect words in semantic families (for example, mercado, mercancía, feliz, felicidad, felicitaciones). They analyse the textual features of a range of texts in different modes and identify how these shape responses and influence meaning. They give examples of how Spanish is used in a variety of ways to achieve different purposes in different contexts and for different audiences. Students describe changes in the role of Spanish as a global language and explain how language both influences and reflects culture. They know that Spanish is co-official with many other languages in a range of countries, such as Guaraní in Paraguay; Quechua in Bolivia, Ecuador and Peru; and Basque/Euskera, Catalan and Galician in Spain. They explain how meanings and interpretations vary according to the cultural assumptions that people bring to interactions, and consider how learning a second language provides the opportunity to view oneself from the perspectives of others.

'Reduce, reuse and recycle'Elaborations

Students participate in collaborative activities that promote awareness of the three R's of sustainability: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. Task 1:

◦ All students reflect on why it is important to practice the three R's: 'Es importante porque...' They can look up the words they do not know on www.wordreference.com and write down the correct form (singular/plural, gender, verb).

◦ In groups of 3 or 4 students, they suggest ways of 'reducing' and 'reusing', comparing opinions: 'Se puede...', 'Me parece una buena idea'. Task 2:

◦ Students bring to school an object that they no longer use, but it is still almost new, wrapped like a present. Examples include: a Kinder egg toy, a figurine, a T-shirt, a decoration item, a magazine... They are placed on a table and each student picks up one.

◦ They try to guess what it is inside: 'Yo creo que mi regalo es..., porque es un paquete grande/pequeño / porque pesa mucho/poco'.

◦ We all play to a game with a dice following the rules on next page (use of imperative).

◦ They open their present and comment on what they can do to reuse it. They also negociate with peers to exchange presents: 'Me gusta mi regalo pero prefiero el regalo de X, ¿quieres cambiar tu regalo por el mío?' 'No, gracias, mi regalo me gusta más porque puedo...'

Task 3:

◦ In groups, they imagine how to reuse their objects and share their ideas with peers: 'Puedo usarlo para...', 'Yo voy a hacer un/una...'.◦ They reflect on how little actions, such as reducing what we buy, reusing and recycling, can help protect the environment. They design an

action plan to raise awareness within their own community. For example, a poster in two languages on recycling or flyers to hand out. See examples of posters displayed in awareness campaigns in English and Spanish on page 6.

Indigenous languagesElaborations

Students read the text on the worksheet 1 (next page). In case they find difficult words or passages, they underline them. In groups of 4 or 5 students, they try to find out the meaning of these difficult expressions by helping out each other.

Based on the information obtained, students fill in the gaps on the maps of Spain and America. Each student decides on either a co-oficial language in Spanish-speaking countries or the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander languages in

Australia. Then students set up 'expert' groups of 4 or 5 students and investigate the status and function of each indigenous language. They determine:◦ What aspects they want to cover

◦ How they plan to report the results to the rest of the class (eg posters, multimedia or student presentations). After presenting their report to the class, each 'expert' group breaks into mixed groups to draw comparisons between indigenous languages in

Spanish-speaking countries and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander languages in Australia. The whole class reflects on the topic and develops proposals for improvement using tools such as:

◦ Multimedia posters with Glogster (www.glogster.com) or

◦ Flip books with Toondoo (www.toondoo.com) They can try to publish them in mass media.

España. Comunidades Autónomas

Lenguas cooficiales en España Fuente: Aula3. Editorial Difusión

Orígenes. El español (o castellano) es una de las lenguas románicas derivadas del latín, como el francés o el italiano. Nació en el norte de España, en una zona protegida con castillos. Por eso fue denominada la región Castilla y su lengua, castellano. En 1714, el rey Felipe V la declaró lengua oficial de España y generalmente es conocida como “español”.Desde entonces se ha convertido en la lengua oficial de 21 países y es también la lengua vehicular de muchas personas que viven en otros países. Solo en Estados Unidos, por ejemplo, hay más de 42 millones de hispanohablantes.En España. El catalán, el gallego y el euskera (cuyo origen es todavía desconocido) son, junto con el español, lenguas oficiales en sus respectivas comunidades autónomas: Cataluña, las Islas Baleares y la Comunidad Valenciana, Galicia, y el País Vasco y parte de Navarra.
