Official Notice - Amendment to Stage 6 CCAFL Languages Continuers and Background Speakers Syllabuses

BOS 50/09 Minor amendments have been made revising 'tasks' to include a reference to 'audience' in the following syllabuses:

Stage 6 Continuers Syllabuses

Armenian, Croatian, Dutch, Filipino, Hindi, Hungarian, Khmer, Macedonian, Maltese, Polish, Portuguese, Serbian, Swedish, Tamil, Turkish and Ukrainian

Stage 6 Background Speakers Syllabuses

Malay, Persian and Russian The description of tasks has changed from four elements to five elements. A description of the task element 'audience' has been included. The description of the tasks should now read: Tasks can be described as having five elements:
  • a purpose (a reason for undertaking the task that goes beyond the practice of the language for its own sake)
  • a context (this may be real, simulated or imagined, and may include aspects such as where, when, who is involved)
  • an audience (the person/persons at whom the task is directed)
  • a process (thinking, problem-solving, creating)
  • a product (a result that can be described in terms of achievement of the purpose of the task and in the student's overall cognitive development).
The amended syllabuses will be available during December 2009.

Effective: 2010 Preliminary and HSC courses
