Year 13 8MAO – Te Reo Māori (NCEA L3)

Course Option Description

Head of Learning Area (HOLA): Mr G. Charton.

Why this course: 
By the end of this course, students can take part in general conversation with speakers of te reo Māori, understand most of what is said, and contribute relevant comments. They can explain and discuss many of their own ideas and opinions and may use te reo Māori creatively. They can read a variety of authentic te reo Māori materials and write expressively for a range of purposes. Students use a range of strategies to help them learn te reo Māori effectively, and they demonstrate a high level of fluency for a learner of te reo Māori as a second language.

Within the new NZ Curriculum, it is recommended that Level 3 Te Reo Māori students should be at level 8 – Achieving personal independence of Te Reo Māori of the NZ Curriculum guidelines for learning Te Reo Māori in English medium schools.

Course information:
Students should be able to:

  • Communicate about certainty and uncertainty, possibility and probability.
  • Develop an argument or point of view, with reasons.
  • Recount a series of events to inform, persuade or entertain.
  • Communicate the same information in different ways for different audiences.
  • Respond to selected and adapted texts in te reo Māori that are about te reo and tikanga Māori, for example, texts from recorded speeches, literature, film, newspapers, magazines, television, video, DVD and radio.

Students in the Level 3 Te Reo Māori course have five achievement assessments throughout the year. These NCEA Te Reo Māori assessments evaluate five skills: ‘Whakarongo’ listening, ‘Kōrero’ speech, ‘Pānui’ reading comprehension, ‘Tuhituhi’ writing, ‘Waihanga tuhi’ crafted writing. Assessments are a combination of three internal and two external examinations, and have a total credit value of 28 credits.
