Nau piki mai rā, nau kake mai rā, nau hoki mai rā ki te ao o te reo Māori.
The overall theme of NCEA Level 2 is Te Ao Torotoro. This means ākonga perspectives move beyond the immediate environ to the local community and beyond. Ākonga are considering the viewpoints of others, comparing and contrasting the ideas and experiences of others as well as supporting their own opinions with evidence.
Akonga are starting to, “take part in general conversation with speakers of te reo Māori, understand most of what is said, and contribute relevant comments. They can explain and discuss many of their own ideas and opinions and may use te reo Māori creatively. They can read a variety of authentic te reo Māori materials and write expressively for a range of purposes. Students use a range of strategies to help them learn te reo Māori effectively, and they demonstrate a high level of fluency for a learner of te reo Māori as a second language.” Ministry of Education. (2009). Te aho arataki marau mō te ako i te reo Māori: Kura auraki: Curriculum guidelines for teaching and learning te reo Māori in English-medium schools: Years 1 – 13. Wellington: Learning Media Limited, p. 53.
Te Reo Māori provides students with a foundation of communicative skills and cultural knowledge to develop confidence through strong self-identity that will enable them to engage in quality bilingual/bicultural relationships with others.
