Baradene College
Year 11 te reo Māori
Subject Description
Head of Faculty: Miss C. Clech.
The Year 11 te reo Maori Course aims to improve students’ ability in both written and spoken Māori. The basic grammatical structures of Year 10 are enhanced, in order to allow students to gain greater fluency in their speech and writing.
By the end of this year, students at this level can converse with te reo Māori speakers in familiar social situations and cope with some less familiar ones. They can use basic Māori language patterns instinctively. They show a willingness to experiment with new language and to read independently. They can write short passages, personal letters, and simple formal letters in te reo Māori.
Students are increasingly confident in using a range of strategies for learning te reo Māori and for communicating with others in predominantly Māori social contexts.
Prerequisites
Year 10 te reo Māori or equivalent.
Te reo Māori at NCEA Level 1 is open to students from Years 11, 12 or 13 with the approval of the Head of Faculty.
Pathway
The advantages of having achieved some proficiency in te reo Māori are apparent in terms of careers, education in life-skills and appreciation of our indigenous culture. Study of Māori Language offers many areas for graduates to pursue careers in: teaching, law, research, journalism, archives, property, administration, policy advice, tourism, health work and social work. Knowledge of Māori is increasingly expected and required of those seeking to study in Postgraduate courses at University.
