making meaning from texts producing texts engaging in spoken interaction. These strategies support and enhance the development of literacy skills, and enable further development of cognitive skills through thinking critically and analytically, solving problems, and making connections. Students should be taught these strategies explicitly and be provided with opportunities to practise them. Progression from the Year 7–10 curriculum The Year 7–10 Languages curriculum is organised through two interrelated strands: Communicating and Understanding. Communicating is broadly focused on using language for communicative purposes in interpreting, creating, and exchanging meaning, whereas Understanding involves examining language and culture as resources for interpreting and creating meaning. Together, these strands reflect three important aspects of language learning: performance of communication, analysing various aspects of language and culture involved in communication, and understanding oneself as a communicator. This syllabus continues to develop knowledge, understanding and skills to ensure students communicate in Indonesian, understand language, culture and learning and their relationship, and thereby develop an intercultural capability in communication. Representation of the general capabilities The general capabilities encompass the knowledge, skills, behaviours and dispositions that will assist students to live and work successfully in the twenty-first century. Teachers may find opportunities to incorporate the capabilities into the teaching and learning program for the Indonesian: Second Language General course. The general capabilities are not assessed unless they are identified within the specified unit content. Literacy For language learners, literacy involves skills and knowledge that need guidance, time and support to develop. These skills include: developing an ability to decode and encode from sound to written systems mastering of grammatical, orthographic, and textual conventions developing semantic, pragmatic, and critical literacy skills. For learners of Indonesian, literacy development in the language also extends literacy development in first language and English. Numeracy Learning languages affords opportunities for learners to develop, use and understand, patterns, order and relationships, to reinforce concepts such as number, time, and space, in their own and in different cultural and linguistic systems.
