The student translates and interprets simple texts (WS2), identifying words that are not easily translated and creates bilingual texts for the classroom and school community (WS1, WS3). The student compares ways of communicating in Greek and English (WS2) to identify similarities and differences (WS3) and suggests how culture influences language use.

The student identifies and reproduces orally and in writing letter clusters, and digraphs/diphthongs (WS1, WS2, WS3). The student identifies the relationship between language choices, and the audience and purpose of different text types (WS1, WS2). The student describes the importance of register in different contexts and situations (WS2). The student identifies the impact of Greek on other languages, especially English, and appreciates the dynamic nature of Greek, identifying changes that have occurred due to new technologies and knowledge (WS2).
