Communicate in Gagana Tokelau in relation to a cultural context
This internal standard is about communicating in Gagana Tokelau (the language of Tokelau) around a cultural topic — things like cultural practices, protocols, or arts. You'll produce a piece of communication (speaking or writing, depending on how your teacher sets it up) that shows you can share information, ideas, and opinions in Gagana Tokelau, and that you can talk about things in the present, past, or future. It's marked by your own school, not by an outside exam.
You get your message across about a cultural topic using Gagana Tokelau. You express information, ideas, and opinions, and you cover more than one time frame (present plus past or future). Some mistakes are okay as long as they don't stop the reader or listener from understanding you overall.
You do everything at Achieved level, but with more variety in your language — a wider range of vocabulary and sentence structures. Your mistakes don't seriously get in the way of understanding. You also build on your ideas rather than just listing basic facts.
You do everything at Merit level, but your language is used accurately and confidently throughout. Your ideas are connected in a smooth, logical way across the whole piece, and mistakes don't interfere with communication at all.
