Demonstrate understanding of a variety of New Zealand Sign Language texts on areas of most immediate relevance
You need to watch and understand a variety of New Zealand Sign Language videos or conversations about everyday topics that matter to you — like family, shopping, school events, or things in your local area. You'll show you understand by responding in NZSL, English, or te reo Māori, pulling out the main ideas and answering questions about what you watched.
You understand the main points from the NZSL texts and can identify and communicate key information, ideas, and opinions about everyday topics.
You select the relevant details from the texts and communicate them clearly without confusion, showing you've understood not just the surface meaning but the connections between ideas.
You go deeper by adding supporting details and explaining what the signer implied or meant beyond the obvious words, showing you really understand the meaning behind the message.
