NCEA L2 Te Reo Māori
REO2 Course DescriptionTeacher in Charge: Whaea D. Day.
Recommended Prior LearningThis course builds on knowledge gained in Level 1 Te Reo Māori so ideally you have attained 12 credits in Level 1 prior to joining this class or have equivalent language skills in te reo Māori. The curriculum is fast paced and extensive - hard work and revision is required!
Nau mai haere mai!
By the end of year 12 te reo Māori, Level 7, the aim is for students to:
1. understand much of what other speakers say and much of what is written in te reo Māori about a range of topics across a range of spoken text types, formal and informal.
2. distinguish between facts and opinions and recognise intentions to persuade and influence.
3. Write in te reo Māori about a range of topics, using words and expressions that are appropriate for the purpose and intended audience.
4. Begin to use language to entertain and persuade as well as to inform.
These objectives are achieved by continuing on the journey of building a broad vocabulary and an accurate knowledge of grammar through various modes including online games, speaking tasks in class, reading and writing, some fun and some hard graft. Work and practice at home is necessary to enhance learning!
By completing the NCEA Level 2 te reo you will develop the ability to communicate about your own and others' perspectives and give informed opinions on topics from within the wider community.
Students are also encouraged to take part in special events such as Ngā Manu Kōrero and will learn supporting Haka, Waiata, Karakia & Mōteatea. Please also plan to attend two Wānanga Reo / te reo Māori workshops from a Friday evening through to Saturday afternoon in Term 1 and Term 3.
NCEA 2 reo Māori is based on Level 7 of Te Aho Arataki Marau mo te Ako i Te Reo Māori
