When does this course run: This course runs in either Semester 1 or 2 (ākonga can choose one or two semesters).
Emergent Te Reo Māori: Learning a new language provides a means of communicating with people from another culture and exploring one’s own personal world. Languages are inseparably linked to the social and cultural contexts in which they are used. Languages and cultures play a key role in developing our personal, group, national, and human identities. Every language has its own ways of expressing meanings; each has intrinsic value and special significance for its users.
