Year 11 Te Reo Māori

Course Description

By the end of the year, students can converse with te reo Māori speakers in familiar social situations and cope with some less familiar ones. They can use basic Māori language patterns spontaneously. They show a willingness to experiment with new languages and to read independently. They can write short passages, personal letters, and simple formal letters in te reo Māori. Students are increasingly confident in using a range of strategies for learning te reo Māori and for communicating with others in predominantly Māori social contexts.

Please note that students in this course are required to learn and perform karakia, mihi, and waiata tautoko (as part of a group) in front of an audience.
