Sorry to have taken so long to send this along but I moved house over the holidays and Telstra stuffed up the phone lines and of course then I have no internet access at home and still don’t.

Dear teachers,
You may find useful the following links to (short & sharp!) summary charts, actually from the Qld Dept website, in terms of providing you with a suggested sequence of core language elements to be taught and to be assessed at different stages of schooling. http://www.qsa.qld.edu.au/syllabus/830.html
Chinese: Functions and suggested language elements (PDF, 248 kB)
French: Functions and suggested language elements (PDF, 154 kB)
German: Functions and suggested language elements (PDF, 147 kB)

Thanks to Amanda Warton from Westgrove PS for forwarding these links as a useful guide for planning curriculum and for putting some meat on the bones of the VELS (that is, putting some language-specific content around the general skills outlined in the VELS).
