Criterion A: Comprehending spoken and visual text
Detailed Explanation
Criterion A focuses on understanding how to comprehend spoken and visual information. This means being able to listen to and analyze what's being presented visually. For example, if you're watching a film, you're expected to grasp the main ideas, themes, and emotions being conveyed through the dialogue and visuals.
Examples & Analogies
Think of it like watching a movie without sound. You can still understand basic emotions and actions just by observing the expressions and body language of the characters. This skill is essential in everyday communication, where not everything is spoken.

It ensures that a student can derive meaning from what they read and view.

Imagine you are reading a recipe. Comprehending the text means understanding the instructions, while visual components like pictures of the dish help you visualize the final product. This skill is crucial for successfully carrying out tasks in daily life.

This includes grammar, vocabulary choice, and the overall structure of the writing. The emphasis is on creating pieces that effectively communicate ideas in varied formats, like essays, reports, or creative pieces.
Examples & Analogies
Think of writing like building a house. Just as a house needs a solid foundation and sturdy walls, good writing requires a clear structure with well-chosen words and correct grammar. If the foundation is weak, the entire house could crumble, just as unclear writing can lead to misunderstandings.
