The Australian Languages — First Language language study is assessed externally. Materials should be submitted online for marking by late October (Round 3).

Students undertake an investigation into a matter relating to [First Language]. They may present their language study primarily in [First Language], in English, or a combination of both in written, oral or multimodal form. It should be no more than 800 words if written, eight minutes if presented orally, or the equivalent in multimodal format.

Student work should be their own. All externally assessed investigations must be verified by a teacher. See Supervision and verification of student work.
