Paper Description

Edit Paper Description Content

This course is intended for students with little or no prior knowledge of the Māori language. Classroom activities are aimed at developing reading, writing, speaking and listening skills, with a particular emphasis on interpersonal communication skills. Priority will be given to the development of oral communication competency and listening skills. The focus will be on basic everyday language like greetings, farewells, family relationships, counting, time, talking about a trip, giving and receiving commands and talking about your likes and dislikes. 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.
