Te Reo Maori (10MAOR)

Course Outline
This course is a continuation of the Year 9 one. Communicative skills are still emphasised and students develop further the ability to speak and write about topics of interest to teenagers. These include arranging to go to the movies, telephone conversations, sports and leisure activities, descriptions of people and food. Students gain an extensive vocabulary and structures suitable for everyday communication. There is a four day marae living experience to foster knowledge of tikanga (cultural practices) for students to have the opportunity to learn about Mãori culture in an authentic situation in a different part of the North Island each year.


Assessment
Internal assessment includes tests in the four essential skills (listening, speaking, reading and writing) which usually occur after each unit of work. There are two internal written exams.
