Communicate in New Zealand Sign Language in relation to a cultural context
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.
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.
You use vocabulary and structures confidently and accurately throughout, connect your ideas logically and smoothly across the whole piece, and communicate fluently with very few errors that don't disrupt meaning.
