Course Outlines - Year 9 & 10 Te Reo Māori

Year 9 & 10
Te REo MĀORI

Back to Year 9 & 10

Ko te reo Māori te kākahu o te whakaaro, te huarahi i te ao tūroa

The Māori language cloaks Māori thought and provides a pathway to the wider world

KAUPAPA:

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.
As well as developing key language skills, students will also learn about our history as a country, tikanga Māori and the Māori world view.

The Year 9 Te Reo Māori is a year long course. The curriculum focuses on building an understanding of pronunciation and basic language conventions.
Students are learning how to communicate about relationships between people, as well as communicate about their physical characteristics, personality and feelings.
Students also begin to explore Te Ao Māori through an emic lens as they begin to understand central components of the Māori language.
As well as a language focus, students also study the cultural themes of Whānau, Whanaungatanga, Atua and Karakia.

Students will attend events such as Manu Kōrero, workshops, films and tikanga events. There may be possible wānanga offered depending on availability.

The Year 10 Te Reo Māori is a year long course that builds on the foundation years of Year 7-9. By the end of Year 10, students will be able to communicate about a variety of events and people and are also confident to express their opinions, likes and dislikes about different topics.
In Year 10, students are learning not only how to master more complex language and grammar, but also how to manipulate and combine that language in order to craft paragraphs of writing and small speeches/presentations in te reo.
It is expected that by the end of Year 10, much of the class instruction and discussion will be delivered in an immersion environment.
The second half of the Year 10 te reo Māori course focuses on the conventions of grammar and the development of vocabulary. Students have begun the shift from vocabulary and grammar recognition to the process of crafting language.
Throughout the year, students have also looked at multiple aspects of Te Ao Māori, te hītori and tikanga including mihi, moko, karakia, kai and tangata rongonui. These are all in preparation for the newly designed NCEA Year 11 course.
