Year 11 Diploma - Te Reo Māori

Subject Description

Teacher in Charge: Ms S. Hull.

Year 11 Diploma - Te Reo Māori

Languages are inseparably linked to the social and cultural contexts in which they are used.  Languages and cultures play a key role in developing our personal, group, national and human identities.  Every language has its own way of expressing meanings; each has intrinsic value and special significance for its users.  In learning languages, students learn to communicate in an additional language.  As they do so, they begin to expand their own world and to open up a whole range of new possibilities.  Learning one new language makes it easier to learn others.  Learning a new language provides a means of communicating with people from other cultures.  As students acquire the skills of communicative competence, they simultaneously explore and reflect on their own personal world and their own culture.  By reaching out, they also reach within.
