Baradene College
Year 11 Te reo Māori
Subject Description
Head of Faculty: Miss C. Clech.
Te reo Māori is an official language of New Zealand. Studying it shows respect for this important part of our culture. It is a treasured language protected by the Treaty of Waitangi and is a key part of our national identity.
When New Zealanders learn and use te reo Māori, they become more aware of how the language and culture shape our unique identity in the world. Learning te reo Māori and understanding its customs help students connect with their own identities and build shared cultural understandings.
Everyone who learns te reo Māori helps keep it alive and vibrant. They also come to see that our differences make us stronger together. Te reo Māori supports Māori cultural growth and contributes to social and economic progress in New Zealand and beyond. Learning the language also challenges the mind and encourages deep thinking.
Course overview:
The Year 11 course aims to improve students' skills in both written and spoken Māori. It builds on the basic grammar learned in Year 10, helping students become more fluent in speaking and writing. By the end of the year, students will be able to have conversations with te reo Māori speakers in familiar situations and handle some new ones. They will use basic Māori language patterns naturally and be willing to try out new language and read on their own. They will be able to write short passages, personal letters, and simple formal letters in te reo Māori. Students will become more confident using various strategies for learning te reo Māori and communicating in mostly Māori social settings.
Course description:
Assessments will include a mix of exams, tests, and a portfolio as suited to the course.
The Year 11 course will correspond to Level 5 and 6 of the te reo Māori Curriculum.
