Year 9 Te Reo Māori for Advance Beginners

This program is designed for fluent speakers and caters to students who have attended Kura Kaupapa Māori, Kura ā iwi, and bilingual kura. By the end of the year, students can cope with a variety of routine situations when talking to speakers of te reo Māori. They can use familiar language with some flexibility and pick up some new language from its context. They can read and write simple notes and short letters and fill out simple forms. They can also use and respond to language, including directions and requests, that is likely to occur in familiar Māori settings. They are becoming more confident in using a range of language learning strategies.

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.
