This standard asks you to communicate in New Zealand Sign Language while talking about something relevant to Deaf culture or your own cultural context. You'll need to express information, ideas, and opinions clearly—and show you can talk about things happening now, in the past, or in the future. The key is being understood overall, even if you make some small mistakes along the way.
What to do, grades and common mistakes
- ·Express information, ideas, and opinions in New Zealand Sign Language that relate to a cultural context (Deaf culture or your own culture)
- ·Use language to communicate about events or experiences in the present, past, and future
- ·Demonstrate vocabulary and sentence structures appropriate to the topic
- ·Link your ideas together so your communication makes sense as a whole
- ·Maintain clarity of your message despite minor inconsistencies in sign choice, grammar, or accuracy
You communicate clearly enough to be understood on a cultural topic, using some variety in vocabulary and structures, even though you may have some mistakes that don't stop the listener understanding you.
You use a good range of varied vocabulary and sentence structures capably, develop your ideas about cultural contexts with some depth, and make only minor inconsistencies that don't significantly interrupt understanding.
