The paper’s overall objective is for students to develop a basic understanding and use of the Māori language. First, by developing aural confidence in listening to basic Māori language, secondly, by communicating using basic sentence structure patterns both in written and spoken form, thirdly, by developing an awareness of cultural conventions and applying this knowledge to everyday communication.
