So my first sac is not far away and i have no idea what it will be about, we've hardly done anything in class thus far and my teacher is kinda inexperienced as this is her first yr taking EL yr 12.

So, can someone tell me some of the things i should know as i'm kinda getting worried....

Thanks

You really need to ask your teacher.

Do you know the format of it?

Like short answer questions or an essay......


For MY SAC 1 last year it was a bunch of short answer questions. It was heavily based on the language toolbox chapter from the Heinemann book which was basically all the subsystems.

If yours turns out to be somewhat like the one I had you need to remember definitions and be prepared to give examples (eg. Name 3 auxilary verbs).

I remember the thing that annoyed me was underlining the stressed syllable in a bunch of random words - everyone was whispering to themselves during the SAC sounding out the words lol  :P

The format is a test.

I'll just have to ask my teacher then. I assumed most peoples sacs would be about the same topics.

Thanks anyway.

Well my first SAC will be an essay on the use of regional and social variation IIRC.

My first SAC consisted of two essays, one on Language and Identity or Language change over time, and a language analysis on one of Sam Kekovich's speeches

yeah, as others have said outcome one is about language variation according to user, so it is likely you'll have to write an essay about ethnolects, variation by region, standard english or something along those lines.

You might have to do a case study. At my school, we had to write essays about the accent continuum and the history of Australian English (which were marked S or N), but we then had to complete an interview with an ethnolect speaker, do a transcript and write an essay to an unknown topic in SAC conditions using our transcript as our evidence (which was what formed our mark out of 50 for the AOS).
