The nature of the learners

Students who enter the background language learner pathway in Vietnamese in Year 7 may have strong connections to Vietnamese language and culture through family and community, and varying degrees of oracy in Vietnamese. Their textual knowledge developed through English literacy supports the development of literacy in Vietnamese. Skills in analysing, comparing and reflecting on language and culture in both languages are mutually supportive.

Vietnamese language learning and use

Learners use modelled and rehearsed language in familiar and unfamiliar contexts and increasingly generate original and personal language. They create spoken and written texts for a variety of audiences in different contexts. They plan, draft and present imaginative texts, and design interactive events and collaborative tasks. They express ideas and feelings (Tôi thích ăn phở. Tôi thích xem phim hơn đọc sách. Hôm nay tôi vui), exchange opinions (Phim này hay quá. Trường tôi rộng rãi và sạch sẽ), and manage shared activities (Bạn làm bài xong chưa? Làm ơn giải thích chữ này giùm tôi! Tôi đọc cho bạn viết nha). Learners work collaboratively and independently, exploring different modes and genres of communication with particular reference to their current social, cultural and communicative interests. They pool language knowledge and resources to plan, problem-solve, monitor and reflect. Learners explore Vietnamese syntax and structures in a range of texts and begin to use metalanguage by identifying grammatical terms. They make cross-curricular connections and explore intercultural perspectives and experiences through interaction with an increasing range of Vietnamese speakers.

Contexts of interaction

Learners come to the classroom understanding and using Vietnamese within the world of their experience, which is likely to be home and community domains. At this level, topics of discussion include the world of learning, for example, discussing the shift from primary to secondary school, the concepts of home and friendship, shared events and leisure activities. Learners contextualise and use their background language and culture as much as possible while socialising and exchanging information. This will not necessarily be characterised by the fluent use of Vietnamese, but rather by the way they use their background knowledge of Vietnamese language and culture in communication. These interactions should be authentic in relating to the world of teenage experience, and performance based. Additional opportunities for interaction are provided through purposeful and integrated use of information and communications technologies (ICT), for example, videoconferencing and online activities such as e-learning.

Texts and resources

Learners work with a range of texts designed for language learning, such as textbooks, audio recordings, teacher-generated materials and online resources. They also use authentic materials such as blogs, newsletters, advertisements, magazines, video clips and apps. Their knowledge is extended through exploration of Vietnamese texts on the internet, and audiovisual materials (for example, đồng dao, ca dao, dân ca, bài hát thiếu nhi (Chúc Mừng Sinh Nhật, Tiếng Chuông Giáng Sinh), phim tài liệu (Luke Nguyen in Vietnam), truyện cổ tích, truyện ngụ ngôn), cultural performances, and community events and activities, for example, tết Nguyên đán, tết Trung thu. In particular, as background language learners they are also likely to engage with bilingual, subtitled and captioned texts.

Features of Vietnamese language use

Learners recognise and use features of the Vietnamese sound and writing systems, including tones and tone markers, and apply appropriate pronunciation and spelling rules in spoken and written texts. They apply elements of Vietnamese grammar to the production of texts, such as appropriate word order, common nouns, pronouns, adjectives, verbs and conjunctions, to describe people, actions and events (Tôi cao và ốm. Tôi có mắt đen. Bạn Lan học giỏi và hát hay. Ngày Tết có múa lân), express courtesy and opinions (Thưa ông bà/ba mẹ/thầy cô. Làm ơn cho tôi mượn tập! Cảm ơn bạn. Học tiếng Việt vui quá), and link ideas and information in different types of affirmative, negative and interrogative sentences (Tôi thích xem phim hơn đọc sách. Tôi biết nói nhưng không biết viết tiếng Việt. Bạn sinh ở Úc hay ở Việt Nam?…). They understand ways in which the English language works as a system and how English is similar to and different from Vietnamese. They make connections between texts and cultural contexts, identifying how cultural values and perspectives are embedded in language and how language choices determine ways in which people, issues and circumstances are represented.

Level of support

Learners have varying degrees of Vietnamese oracy and literacy, and are supported through multilevel and differentiated tasks. Support includes scaffolding, modelling and monitoring, explicit instruction and feedback, structured activities for practising new language, and the use of gesture and movement. Students are supported to develop autonomy as language learners and users, and to self-monitor and adjust their language use in response to their experience in diverse contexts. Opportunities to review and consolidate knowledge are an important component of learning at this level.

The role of English

Vietnamese is the main language of instruction and interaction. Vietnamese and English may be used when discussing concepts, functions and structures relating to language use, and when exchanging and comparing experiences in learning Vietnamese and English. English may be used for conceptually demanding explanations and discussions, particularly when making connections between Vietnamese and other languages and cultures. Learners are encouraged to reflect on cultural values and practices and how these relate to their own sense of identity from a bilingual perspective.

The nature of the learners

Learners increasingly communicate in Vietnamese in everyday interactions and in domains that are beyond the home. They continue to be immersed in Vietnamese language and culture, making connections and comparisons with other languages and cultures. They have a growing awareness of the wider world, including the diversity of languages, cultures and forms of intercultural communication. They begin to consider their role as bilingual, intercultural communicators in the Australian context. They are considering future pathways and prospects, including how Vietnamese may feature in these.

Vietnamese language learning and use

This is a period of language exploration, vocabulary expansion, and experimentation with different modes of communication. Learners use Vietnamese to communicate and interact, to access and exchange information, to express feelings and opinions, and to participate in imaginative and creative experiences. There is a balance between activities that focus on language forms and structures and those that emphasise communicative tasks and performance. Learners recognise that moving between Vietnamese and English involves interpretation and personal response as well as literal translation and factual reporting. Task characteristics and conditions at this level are more complex and challenging, providing opportunities for collaborative as well as independent language planning and performance, and development and strategic use of language and cultural resources. Students discuss the relationship between language, culture and identity, exploring in more depth the concept of being bilingual and bicultural.

Contexts of interaction

Greater control of language structures and systems increases confidence and interest in communicating in a wider range of contexts beyond the home. Contexts of interaction in Vietnamese move beyond the immediate world of teenage experience to more active participation in events or celebrations at home (Sinh nhật con ba mẹ làm BBQ ở vườn sau đi. Con sẽ giúp mẹ nấu nướng và dọn dẹp) or transactions with people in the local community (Cô có thể giảm giá cho học sinh không? Làm ơn cho tôi đổi lại số lớn hơn). Learners participate in discussions and presentations on topics of interest and about life experiences in different contexts and cultures. They view and/or listen to advertisements, announcements, conversations, television programs, documentaries, music performances and films to further explore Vietnamese language and culture. Additional opportunities for interaction are provided by purposeful and integrated use of information and communications technologies (ICT), for example, videoconferencing and e-learning.

Texts and resources

Learners read, view and interact with a broad range of texts and resources specifically designed for learning Vietnamese in school contexts, such as textbooks, readers, videos and online materials, including those developed for computer-supported collaborative learning. They also access authentic materials created for Vietnamese-speaking communities, such as films, literature, websites and magazines. They use a range of dictionaries and translation methods to support comprehension, build vocabulary and elaborate on ideas.

Features of Vietnamese language use

Learners apply appropriate pronunciation of sounds and tones, as well as rhythm and intonation, to a range of spoken texts. They use vocabulary with more complex syllable combinations and become more fluent and accurate in both spoken and written language production. They gain greater control of grammatical elements such as word order, sentence structures and punctuation. They use cohesive devices such as conjunctions (và, hay/hoặc, tuy…nhưng, nếu…thì, vì…cho nên), verbs to express modality (nên, cần, phải), direct and indirect speech (Ba mẹ nói với tôi: ‘Con nên chăm học’. Ba mẹ bảo tôi nên chăm học), abstract vocabulary (tình thương, sở thích, nỗi buồn, niềm vui, hạnh phúc) and common idioms (xa mặt cách lòng, tiền rừng bạc biển, có chí thì nên) to communicate, link and extend ideas and information. They analyse text more critically, identifying how language choices reflect perspectives and meaning in a range of texts, and developing their understanding of the relationship between context, purpose and audience. They demonstrate understanding of language variation and change, and of how intercultural experience, technology, popular culture, migration and globalisation influence forms of communication. They explore the reciprocal nature of intercultural communication: how moving between Vietnamese and English affects their ways of thinking and behaving, and how successful communication requires flexibility, awareness and openness to alternative ways. They consider their own cultural practices from a bilingual perspective and communicate in interculturally appropriate ways.

Level of support

This stage of learning involves consolidation and progression. Learners need opportunities for new challenges and more independent learning experiences. Continued scaffolding, modelling and monitoring are required to support these challenges. A range of resources is provided and processes modelled for the development of more autonomous self-monitoring and reflecting strategies, such as online journalling, video documenting and discussion forums. Continued focused attention to grammatical and textual features supports learners in the production of texts.

The role of English

The classroom is increasingly characterised by bilinguality, with Vietnamese being the principal language of communication. Vietnamese and English continues to be used as the medium for substantive discussion, comparison, analysis and reflection, although learners at this level are able to discuss some abstract and complex views and ideas about language, culture and intercultural experience in Vietnamese. Learners explore the influence of both Vietnamese and English on their way of communicating, and examine how living and moving between cultures has impacted on their own bilingual identity.
