Create bilingual texts such as signs, posters, games and descriptions for the classroom and the school community
Elaborations
creating bilingual resources for language learning, such as glossaries or a personal English–Indonesian dictionary with examples and explanations of language use
creating bilingual texts for specific audiences (for example, a big book or game for young learners of Indonesian, invitations to a class event or posters for a performance), noticing how meanings need to be tailored for audience and cultural perspectives
preparing bilingual captions for texts such as a display, newsletter or web page for parents and Indonesian peers, exploring how to convey ideas in the different languages
noticing culture-specific expressions and idioms, for example, cuci mata (window-shopping/sightseeing) or ‘sick as a dog’, and considering how these might be expressed for audiences with a different cultural perspective
