Subject Description

Head of Faculty: Miss C. Clech.

At Baradene College all students learn a language at Year 9. 

The Year 9 te reo Maori course is preparing students to work at Levels 1 and 2 of the New Zealand Curriculum. It integrates language and culture and provides a variety of opportunities for listening, speaking, presenting and performing, viewing, reading and writing. The focus at this level is on developing communication skills.  

At Year 9 level the aim is for the students to understand and use familiar expressions and everyday vocabulary, and to interact in a simple way in supported situations.  

Students will cover the four language skills of listening, reading, writing and speaking. Inherent to language learning is a deepening of intercultural understanding. 

The main key competencies in Languages are a focus on using language, symbols and texts and relating to others.
