This course expands your everyday ability to use Te Reo Māori by studying a variety of common conversational themes. TREO260 aims to increase the fluency of your Te Reo and provide a wider range of conversational ability. The course has its own Facebook page where students routinely upload blogs and vlogs to demonstrate their mastery of the vocabularly, sentence constructions and conversational themes being studied. In the classroom the focus is on spoken activities, thus by studying TREO260 you will move beyond basic templates and learn how to hold a more fluent conversation. This level of Te Reo Māori will not only increase your speaking confidence but will also be useful in formal Māori situations on and off the marae. TREO260 is taught in Te Mairaki, a room named after Riki Te Mairaki Ellison Taiaroa and students learn about this important Ngāi Tahu tipuna and the area he grew up. Pathways from this course can include roles that require a slightly more advanced level of Te Reo competence. Probation officers, social workers and community outreach staff that have to engage with a large variety of different ethnic groups will benefit hugely from the skills taught in TREO260.
