Languages Other Than English Pathway 1 – Assessment Map
The annotated student work samples on this assessment map illustrate typical achievement in LOTE Pathway 1 at Levels 4, 5 and 6 of the Victorian Essential Learning Standards.
The annotated samples of work will be published in four language categories and will focus mainly on student work which is at the standard rather than progressing toward the standard. Samples typical of where students are progressing towards the standards are only available in the Roman alphabetical language category in French. Samples have been provided in a range of languages.
Currently, work samples are published for the following languages and levels:
Character languages - Chinese and Japanese Levels 4 5 6
Non-Roman alphabetical languages - Arabic and Greek Levels 4 5 6
Roman alphabetical languages - French, German, Indonesian and Italian Levels 4 5 6
Sign language - Auslan Levels 4 5 6
The work samples have been produced by Victorian students in response to assessment tasks linked to specific elements of the standards and annotated to help answer the question ‘What does work at this standard look like?’ The work samples are not intended to show the full range of student achievement or achievement of all elements of a standard.
Each work sample is presented in a similar format and includes:
- a description of the context for the task from which the work sample was derived
- details of the relevant elements of the standards addressed by the task
- where relevant, a copy or description of any stimulus material or worksheets provided to students
- one or more work samples which are typical of the kinds of responses students produce when they are working at the standard including written texts and video presentations
- annotations that identify attributes of the student work linked to a standard.
