Auslan: Second Language Learner F–10 Sequence / Levels 7 and 8 / Understanding / Systems of language
Content description
Expand understanding of grammatical features and cohesive devices used in a range of personal, informative and imaginative texts designed to suit different audiences, contexts and purposes
Elaborations
  1. noticing that differing purposes in text creation result in differing types and amounts of signing, for example, the amount of fingerspelling used in a public lecture compared to in a private conversation
  2. identifying linguistic structures and features typically associated with texts such as casual conversations, for example the use of back-channels or hesitations
  3. applying knowledge of the choices a signer can make in texts, for example by comparing two signers’ texts about the same topic and evaluating the different choices they have made in terms of enacting through DSs or CA
  4. analysing the effect of a signer’s use of pausing in a description or information report
  5. noticing how signers construct cohesive and coherent texts through the use of text connectives such as BUT and G:WELL to create links between clauses
