YEAR 8 OVERVIEW In Year 8, students continue developing their proficiency in Indonesian, refining their communication skills and expanding their knowledge of vocabulary, grammar, and text conventions. They interact in structured classroom discussions, interpret and analyse short texts, and construct their own written and spoken responses with greater complexity and accuracy. Peer and teacher feedback are used to enhance language production. Students further explore the interrelationship between language and culture, deepening their understanding of Indonesian traditions and customs. They analyse linguistic structures that indicate respect and hierarchy in Indonesian society and compare them to their own language practices. Cultural concepts such as gotong-royong, jam karet, and selamatan are revisited with a greater focus on their significance in daily life and societal values. Students reflect on their own linguistic and cultural identity, considering how language shapes their perspectives and interactions in a multicultural world.
