Assessment for qualifications: Level 6

The NCEA languages achievement standards at levels 1, 2, and 3 have been aligned with The New Zealand Curriculum. The registered standards are on the NZQA website.

A languages matrix overarches all the languages achievement standards with the exception of NZSL. There are four achievement standards for NZSL and these are all internally assessed.

Each individual language standard at level 1 is registered with a unique ID number.

Each individual language standard at level 1 is separately identified by its unique ID number.

Achievement standards and achievement objectives

Learning languages has a single assessable achievement objective – communication – at each level. This is different from other learning areas or subjects, where learning is split into a number of achievement objectives that can be assessed individually or in combination. This means that each of the achievement standards assesses an aspect or aspects of the communication objective, not different objectives.

Portfolio-based assessment

Achievement standards 1.3 (AS90870, AS90875, AS90880, AS90885, AS90895, AS90905, AS90910, AS91797) and 1.5 (AS90872, AS90877, AS90882, AS90887, AS90897, AS90907, AS90912, AS91798) are assessed on the basis of interactions and writing/signing that take place over a lengthy period of time. Students record/collect examples of their interactions/writing/signing and present these at the required time. Teachers need to make sure that their students understand this requirement, and the conditions, early on in the school year.
