• reading and writing a variety of text types
• listening for information in a range of situations
• speaking on a range of topics and interacting with others in a variety of authentic situations • attending to the rules and form of the Te Reo Māori language
• developing a rich repertoire of new phrases and expressions as well as recycling words, phrases and expressions you have already met.
SCHOOL ASSESSMENT
Apart from the NCEA assessments, regular tests will be carried out throughout the year to provide feedback to you and your teacher. This year, NCEA level 1 is introducing a new structure and way of assessing. This will include 2 internal assessments and 2 external assessments, details to follow.
WHAT COULD THIS SUBJECT LEAD TO?
Te Reo Māori provides students with a foundation of communicative skills and cultural knowledge to develop confidence through strong self-identity that will enable them to engage in quality bilingual/bicultural relationships with others.
Te Reo Māori provides students with a strong foundation of the indigenous language of Aotearoa, as well as an understanding, practice and confidence in kaupapa Māori spaces. These skills are valuable in all settings beyond school in tertiary environments, all workforces, raising tamariki and uplifting our whānau, hapū and iwi. This could also lead to level 2 and 3 Te Reo Māori. Level 3 Te Reo Māori is a university entrance approved subject. If you are looking to work in any public sector, Te Reo Māori is a must!
