Year 12 Te reo Māori (Level 2)

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 12 course focuses on developing students' te reo Māori skills in listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Students will build on the basics of the language.

By the end of the year, they will be able to:

  • Join general conversations with te reo Māori speakers, understand most of what is said, and make relevant comments. 
  • They can explain and discuss their own ideas and use te reo Māori creatively. 
  • They will be able to tell the difference between facts and opinions, recognize when someone is trying to persuade or influence them, and talk effectively about their future.  
  • Students will use various strategies to learn te reo Māori and will show a high level of fluency for a second-language learner.

 

Course Outline:

The Year 12 course will correspond to Level 6 and 7 of the te reo Māori Curriculum.
