SACE Stage 2 Punjabi (continuers) study guide
SACE Stage 2 Punjabi (continuers) · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
Punjabi (continuers) is a Stage 2 subject in the South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE), listed by the SACE Board of South Australia under its Languages (national continuers) offering. It is designed for students who already have a substantial background in Punjabi - typically those who have studied the language over several years or who speak it at home - and who want to extend their literacy, analytical and intercultural skills in the language during their final years of secondary schooling. Because the subject sits within the national continuers framework, it is not an introductory course: learners are expected to work with authentic texts, produce extended writing and speak at length on topics of personal, social and cultural significance. Assessment in SACE Stage 2 subjects generally combines school-based assessment, which is subject to moderation, with an external component such as a written examination and, for language subjects, an oral examination. The SACE Stage 2 Punjabi (continuers) study guide has 3 sections and about 1,217 words.
