This unit can be used for training delivery and assessment of reading and writing proficiency in any language other than English. There is no direct parity with any formal language proficiency ratings or assessment framework, but this unit broadly relates to International Second Language Proficiency Ratings (ISLPR) 4to 4+.This unit is the second in a hierarchical set of two units dealing with reading and writing in a language other than English, ranging from entry to fluency and increasing in complexity with the level of linguistic ability. These units do not align with Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) levels and do not include interpreting or translating, which are higher-level specialist skills. | ||
