NCEA Level 1 Te Reo Māori me ngā Tikanga Māori

This course is for multi-lingual learners in Te Reo Māori. The course covers Te Reo Māori and Tikanga Māori in familiar contexts. The course is assessed through language achievement standards where students will develop their knowledge of Te Reo and Te Ao Māori.

• 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. 
• Students will develop self-managing skills and strategies that will enable them to know when to lead or follow, and when and how to act independently or collectively for the benefit of te ao Māori. 
• Students will apply creative and critical thinking, as well as metacognitive processes to make sense of information, experiences and ideas which will inspire them to be lifelong learners of te reo Māori. 
• Students in tandem with learning tikanga Māori, will strengthen their own identity, therefore, providing a strong foundation for them to create and nurture relationships with others and the environment. 
• The ideas, values and attitudes developed from a Māori worldview expressed through te reo Māori will enable students to be culturally confident and competent to participate in and contribute to Māori language and culture revitalisation within their communities.
