Stage 2 (Year 3 & Year 4)
At Balar Malar, we teachTamil K–10 Syllabus developed by NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA).
The study of Tamil in K–10 enables students to communicate with others in Tamil, and to reflect on and understand the nature and role of language and culture in their own lives and the lives of others.
NESA syllabuses include agreed Australian Curriculum content and content that clarifies the scope, breadth and depth of learning. The Australian Curriculum achievement standards underpin the syllabus outcomes and the Stage statements for Early Stage 1 to Stage 5.

Stage Statement ( Stage 2)
By the end of Stage 2, students interact with others in Tamil to share information and participate in guided classroom activities that involve following instructions and collaborating with peers. They locate and classify information in texts, such as recipes or menus, and respond to texts, using modelled language and graphic, visual or digital supports. They compose texts in Tamil, using familiar words, formulaic expressions and modelled language, and create bilingual texts, such as descriptions and signs for the classroom.
Students reproduce pronunciation and intonation patterns, and identify sound–writing relationships. They write simple texts using the Tamil alphabet, and identify basic elements of grammar in familiar language patterns. They recognise structure and language features in familiar texts, and variations in language use according to context and relationships between participants. They recognise frequently used loan words from English and other languages, comparing pronunciation. Students identify terms and expressions in Tamil that reflect cultural practices, and make comparisons with their own and other communities. They understand that ways of communicating and behaving reflect aspects of personal identity.
Students with prior learning and/or experience
Students with prior learning and/or experience of Tamil have more developed communicative skills, and knowledge and understanding of language and culture. They interact with others in Tamil to share information, experiences and feelings, and participate in tasks and activities that involve collaborative planning and simple transactions. They locate and organise information from spoken, written, digital and visual texts, and respond to texts, using English or modelled language in Tamil, in spoken, written and digital modes. They compose texts using formulaic expressions, modelled language and visual supports, and create bilingual texts such as signs or notices, digital picture dictionaries or word banks for the classroom and school community.
