COMMENTARY

Background of the L1 and L2 students

This unit of work is for L1 and L2 students. The L1 students are fluent in the Cook Islands Maori language as for the L2 students their first language is English. There are 15 students in this class, 9 fluent CI Maori language and 6 are English speakers.

The L1 students speak CI Maori language when they were born and at home, school and the community. They are very confident in speaking, understanding and writing in the Cook Islands Maori language.

The L2 students are Cook Islands students who were born in the Cook Islands and have went to school but however they moved to NZ when they were still in the Primary level at Year 5 class. These students continued school in NZ from Year 6 up to Year 10 then they came back to the Cook Islands. In NZ they speak English at home and school. However, at home CI Maori language is spoken so they are hearing Maori language at home but they don’t speak it, they give their reply to their parents in English. They would understand some simple Maori language but will not reply in Maori.
