Te Reo Māori

Year 10

Prerequisites: All students are welcome to enter this subject and those with no previous
knowledge can enter with permission from the teacher in charge.

Content: This course assumes that students will already have gained some knowledge of
basic Māori words. A variety of approaches-speaking, listening, seeing, moving, touching,
reading and writing will be used, recognising the diversity of learning styles the students
bring to the classroom as well as a variety of audio visual aids – flashcards, pictures, charts,
overhead transparencies. Videos, Tapes, textbooks – will be used to maximize language
acquisition. Pair work and group work are encouraged so that students will have greater
amounts of ‘talking time’. Students will also be given self-directed activities to reinforce
and/or extend all the language points covered.

Cost: Approximately $40

Spanish

Year 10

Prerequisites: All students are welcome to enter this subject and those with no previous
knowledge can enter with permission from the teacher in charge.

Content: Students at this level are able to select Spanish for a complete year of study. At the
end of the year’s study, students can cope with a variety of routine situations when talking
to Spanish speakers. Students can describe aspects of their own background and immediate
environment. 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 are becoming more confident in using a range of language learning
strategies. We will use certain topics to work with the language for example: going
shopping; going on holidays; talking about our town and house etc.

Cost: Contribution to cultural activities.
