L1 Te Reo Māori

NCEA Level 1 Te Reo Māori (1TRM)

This course is for any student who is interested in the Māori language, cultural practices and knowledge. The course work combines a mix of practical activities as well as research and written tasks. There are no prerequisites for this course. However, taking Te Reo Māori at the Junior Level will help. 

This course will require students to participate and contribute, manage self and use language, symbols and text to complete the standards.

• Students will apply a range of communicative skills in a variety of contexts that will enable them to express their thoughts in te reo Māori with accuracy, fluency, cultural integrity and gain an understanding of language revitalisation. 
• Students of Te Reo Māori will develop self-managing skills and strategies that will enable them to know when to lead or follow, and when and how to act independently or collectively for the benefit of te ao Māori. 
• Students of Te Reo Māori will apply creative and critical thinking, as well as metacognitive processes to make sense of information, experiences and ideas which will inspire them to be lifelong learners of te reo Māori. 
• Students of Te Reo Māori, in tandem with learning tikanga Māori, will strengthen their own identity, therefore, providing a strong foundation for them to create and nurture relationships with others and the environment. 
• The ideas, values and attitudes developed from a Māori worldview expressed through te reo Māori will enable students of Te Reo Māori to be culturally confident and competent to participate in and contribute to Māorix language and culture revitalisation within their communities.
