Auslan: First Language Learner F–10 Sequence / Levels 5 and 6 / Understanding / Systems of language
Content description
Identify structures, language features and cohesive devices used in different types of texts, recognising that language choices reflect purpose, context and audience
Elaborations
  1. examining different examples of an Auslan text type (for example, one to inform or one to persuade) and identifying choices signers made, for example the amount of fingerspelling they used
  2. noticing how signers achieve textual cohesion and coherence through the use of connectives that create links between clauses, for example BUT and G:WELL
  3. identifying the many ways signers can refer to the same referent in a text, for example by using DSs, points, list buoys, and how such strategies support understanding
  4. annotating in ELAN or similar software where a signer is using established locations to refer to a noun referent
