You will submit a piece of work to communicate information, ideas, and opinions using spoken Gagana Sāmoa, written Gagana Sāmoa, or a combination of both. This will centre around an aspect of siva Sāmoa.
You may perform the siva Sāmoa, and after your performance, communicate information, ideas, and opinions about an aspect of siva Sāmoa. You will not be assessed on any language used during your performance, nor on the technical quality of your siva Sāmoa. You may also communicate about a siva Sāmoa you have performed previously, or seen in person or online.
You will show how well you can:
- communicate information, ideas, and opinions to others
- use relevant language to communicate information, ideas, and opinions about an aspect of siva Sāmoa
- refer to events or experiences in the present, as well as the past or future
- link information, ideas, and opinions cohesively
- build on information, ideas, and opinions that are expressed
- show logical flow or structure in your chosen format
- achieve communication that is not hindered by inconsistencies.
You could cover:
- some features of siva Sāmoa (for example, types of movement, number of dancers, choice of music)
- what dancers wear
- what makes siva Sāmoa different to another dance style you know
- when siva Sāmoa is performed and why
- a time you saw siva Sāmoa performed, and how you felt about it.

How to present your learning
You will communicate in spoken Gagana Sāmoa, written Gagana Sāmoa, or a combination of both to complete this Assessment Activity.
To provide sufficient evidence to achieve this Standard, you should produce:
- approximately 90 seconds of spoken evidence, or
- 300-350 words of written evidence, or
- an equivalent combination of both.
Examples of combinations include:
- 60 seconds of spoken evidence and 90-105 words of written evidence, or
- 45 seconds of spoken evidence and 150-200 words of written evidence, or
- 30 seconds of spoken evidence and 210-280 words of written evidence.
If your submission includes both spoken and written evidence, the spoken and written language content must be complementary to each other, for example, a piece of work about a guided house tour could include a map with written descriptions for each room.
You can show your work in a wide range of possible formats. Examples include:
- a vlog or video with or without complementary written information
- a slideshow with or without voiceover
- a digital or paper-based scrapbook or storyboard with or without complementary spoken information.
You will not be assessed on the format or technical quality of your piece of work. Only the quality of your language will be assessed.
The language you produce as evidence must be your own work. However, while creating your piece of work, you may draw on language resources such as:
- reference materials including class notes
- textbooks
- dictionaries.
If your submission includes spoken evidence, you may:
- draft written scripts, which will not be assessed, in preparation for the spoken section of your assessment
- edit your recording prior to submission.
In any format, you may not:
- copy whole sentences or passages from any source without significant modification
- use any digital language tools (for example, artificial intelligence (AI) or translators)
- have anyone else point out linguistic errors, or correct the content of your work, before editing and handing it in for assessment.
