Description

This course continues the study of the structure of the language and extends your speaking skills. The course aims to increase the range and fluency of conversational ability to help acquire the skills for formal speech at an appropriate level and lay the groundwork for future growth.

An intermediate level course in Te Reo Māori for those who have completed TREO112 or who have recognised prior learning.

This course continues the study of the structure of the language and extends your speaking skills. The course aims to increase the range and fluency of conversational ability to help acquire the skills for formal speech at an appropriate level and lay the groundwork for future growth.

This course focusses on acquisition of more complex sentence constructions and extends knowledge of Māori vocabulary. In particular, knowledge of verbal sentences is enhanced by a study of directional and manner particles and specialised verbal constructions including ‘why’, and ‘why not’, and uses of the negative particle ‘kore’.

The course blends academic study of the language with a range of teaching techniques including language games, waiata, group activities in a Māori immersion learning environment.

Students will have the opportunity to attend a wānanga reo (language immersion marae stay).
