Teaching and learning
Communicative language teaching
Communicative language teaching enables learners to engage in meaningful communication in the target language.
The relationship between te reo Māori and tikanga Māori
Speaking a different language involves much more than simply conveying the same message in different words. It involves sharing in another world view.
Which version of te reo Māori and tikanga Māori should we teach?
While there are regional variations in te reo Māori and tikanga Māori, speakers of different varieties can communicate without difficulty.
Using te reo Māori as the language of classroom instruction
Some teachers will use only te reo Māori when teaching Māori; others will use a combination of English and Māori. When teachers use te reo Māori in a range of settings, it demonstrates its application for normal communication.
