Victorian Curriculum Latin has one learning sequence:
The content of Latin is organised through two interrelated strands. The two strands are Engaging with texts and Understanding. Each strand contains several sub-strands.
| Strand | Engaging with texts | Understanding |
|---|---|---|
Sub-strands | Accessing the ancient world through (language) texts Engaging with people and ideas in the ancient world through texts that reveal language use and social and cultural practices | Systems of language Understanding the language system, including sound, writing, grammar, vocabulary and text structure |
Responding to texts Engaging with and responding to (language) texts as literature and responding to (language) texts through reading aloud, reciting or performing | The powerful influence of language and culture Understanding how languages vary in use (register, style, standard and non-standard varieties) and change over time and place; and the cultural legacy of the ancient world in the modern world | |
The role of language and culture The relationship between language and culture | ||
Translating Translating (language) texts into English, comparing different interpretations of the same text and explaining these to others; translating and explaining (language) texts; and comparing and evaluating translations | Reflecting Questioning reactions and assumptions in response to engaging with the Classical world, and considering how this affects one's own identity and world-view; reactions to engaging with the ancient world; and identity as a language learner |
In Latin, students’ progress along a curriculum continuum. The first achievement standard is provided at Level 8 and then at Level 10.
