Levels 3 and 4: Te tupuranga
(Developing communication skills in te reo Māori)
Proficiency target
By the end of level 4, learners can cope with a variety of routine situations when talking to speakers of te reo Māori. They can use familiar language with some flexibility and pick up some new language from its context. They can read and write simple notes and short letters and fill out simple forms. They can act appropriately in familiar social situations, according to the norms and conventions of Māori. They are becoming more confident in using a range of language learning strategies.
There are some minor changes that need to be made to align with the Te Aho Arataki Marau mo te Ako i Te Reo Māori – Kura Auraki / Curriculum Guidelines for Teaching and Learning Te Reo Māori i Te Reo Māori.
