Te Ao Māori

Te Ao Māori

In this subject students will learn to use basic Māori language patterns so that they can converse with Te Reo Māori speakers in familiar social situations and cope with some less familiar ones.  They will develop a willingness to experiment with new language and to read independently.  They will write short passages, person letters and simple formal letters in Te Reo Māori. Over the years, students will increasingly gain confidence in using a range of strategies for learning Te Reo Māori and for communicating with others in predominantly Māori social contexts.
