Written, speaking, listening, reading and research skills are to be further developed in this course. The course is designed to focus on reo and tikanga Māori while also preparing students for internal and external assessments as students will have opportunities to study within both traditional and contemporary contexts. 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 8 akonga can take part in general conversation with speakers of Te Reo Māori, understand some of what is said, and contribute relevant comments. They are able to explain and discuss some of your own ideas and opinions and may use Te Reo Māori creatively, and read a range of authentic Te Reo Māori materials and write expressively for a purpose. Students use a range of strategies to help them learn Te Reo Māori effectively, and demonstrate a good level of fluency for an akonga of Te Reo Māori as a second language.
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.
