Year 9 Te Reo Māori

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Whaea D. Day.


Nau mai, haere mai - welcome! 

Te Whakatōtanga - beginning to use te reo Māori -  is a beginners course in tikanga and reo Māori and Aotearoa Histories  – Māori language, culture and history.

A foundational course, year 9 te reo Māori covers the basics of the grammar and vocabulary, giving students opportunities to practice the skills of listening, reading, writing and speaking te reo Māori. Basic conversational reo, mihimihi (introductions), pepeha, karakia and waiata will be included. Cultural concepts and practices, tikanga and kawa, are inseparable from language and will be learnt along the language journey.  Māori history will be viewed through a range of lenses: culture and identity, rangatiratanga, tūrangawaewae & taiao - place and environment, and umanga, economic activities.

Whāinga - Goal

By the end of level 2, students can understand te reo Māori that contains well-rehearsed sentence patterns and familiar vocabulary and can interact in predictable exchanges. They can read and write straightforward versions of what they have learned to say. They are aware of and understand some of the typical cultural conventions that operate in interpersonal communication. Students are developing an awareness of the processes involved in learning te reo Māori and Aotearoa histories.
