Emphasis is on the development of writing and speaking skills within traditional and contemporary contexts. Internal Assessments take place throughout the year. The Internal Assessments are graded at the end of Term 3. Students are expected to undergo three assessments in each type (3 Korero a Waha, 3 Tuhinga and 3 Whakarongo). The final grade will be determined by a holistic judgement of all three pieces of assessment. External Assessments will be practised in mid-year and preliminary examinations.
What will I learn and how will I learn?
By the end of Level 6 akonga can converse with Te Reo Māori speakers in familiar social situations and cope with some less familiar ones. They will be able to use basic Māori language patterns spontaneously, show a willingness to experiment with new language and to read independently, and write short passages, personal letters, and simple formal letters in Te Reo Māori. Akonga will become increasingly confident in using a range of strategies for learning Te Reo Māori and for communicating with others in predominantly Māori social contexts.
Resubmission and Further Assessment Opportunities:
Resubmissions can only be offered once and only when small errors or omissions need to be corrected in their work in a short period of time. There is no further teaching available. Further assessment opportunities are not available in every standard.
