NCEA Level 1 Te Reo Māori

NCEA Level 1 Te Reo Māori is available through Te Kura.

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 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 various strategies for learning te reo Māori and communicating with others in predominantly Māori social contexts.  

Course objectives include:

• To write clearly in Māori in a variety of forms, to convey your thoughts accurately on a number of topics
• To use sentence patterns and vocabulary accurately up to level 6 of the curriculum.
• To speak Māori with accurate pronunciation and intonation.
• To read Māori for meaning and understanding.
• To listen and understand spoken Māori.

Assessments will be individually chosen from the standards available to suit the unique needs of each learner.
