Auslan: First Language Learner F–10 Sequence / Levels 3 and 4 / Understanding / Systems of language
Content description
Understand how signers make different language choices in different types of texts depending on the purpose and intended audience, and explore how space is used in Auslan for purposes of textual cohesion
Elaborations
  1. noticing that differing purposes in the creation of Auslan texts result in differing types and amounts of signing, for example, the use of more CA in narratives
  2. comparing a short text in Auslan with an equivalent type of English text (for example, a recount in both languages) and noticing similarities and differences in structure and language features
  3. identifying with support, examples of signers associating non-present referents with locations in signing space
  4. identifying examples of signers pointing to an established location to refer to something
  5. identifying how signers establish locations and noticing how this helps the audience to recognise who or what the referents are (actor and undergoer)
