Paper Description
This course is intended for students with little or no prior knowledge of the Māori language. The emphasis will be on developing oral and listening skills in the Māori language with reading and writing skills as reinforcement. Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to understand language that has a familiar pattern, recognise new words and be able to interact in a communicative way with predictable exchanges. Learners will also develop an awareness of the language learning process. The medium of delivery favours a bilingual approach and the teaching strategies are based on Māori pedagogical practices and communicative language teaching methodology where possible.
Paper Structure
This paper will be taught for four weeks, each week you will be introduced to new words and sentence constructions which will help develop and build on your language. In week one you will be introduced to te reo Māori, whakawhanaungatanga (getting to know each other), getting acquainted with some of the services the university provides. In week one you will also be introduced to the whakapapa o te ao Māori, o te reo Māori, o te tangata, learn how to give a mihi and introduce/talk about your whānau (family). During week two/three you will begin learning the vocabulary and sentence constructions for talking about a trip.
