Write a variety of text types in Lea Faka-Tonga to convey information, ideas, and opinions in genuine contexts
In this internal standard, students write several different types of texts in the Tongan language (Lea Faka-Tonga) for real-life purposes — things like writing a letter, a social media post, an opinion piece, or a formal notice. The goal is to actually communicate something meaningful in Tongan, not just fill in blanks or do a translation exercise. Because it is internal, your teacher assesses your work at school across the year rather than in an exam.
You get your message across in Tongan across a range of text types. There can be mistakes in spelling, word choice, format, or grammar, but the reader can still understand what you mean overall.
Your writing is generally convincing and credible. You develop and connect your ideas clearly, choose language that fits the audience and purpose, and errors do not seriously get in the way of communication.
Your writing is controlled and effective. You develop and weave together information, ideas, and opinions skillfully. The language you choose is well-suited to the audience and purpose, and errors do not hinder communication at all.
