This language course follows on from the Level 1 and 2 course for beginners that taught thirty sentence patterns and commonly used words, giving learners basic conversational Māori. This intermediate level course introduces another twenty sentence patterns that are primary sentence structures of te reo Māori. The book steps through modules that teach the grammar and sentence patterns and show these used in examples. Learning is reinforced through repetition of sentence patterns and written exercises, and in each module learners also access an online episode of a short movie where characters use the sentence structures in the story.

Ngā Tukanga Ako o Reo Ora: Ko Te Weu

The Teaching and Learning Methods of Reo Ora: Ko Te Weu

This Level 3 course, Reo Ora: Ko Te Weu – A Māori Language Course for Intermediate Learners, follows on from the Level 1–2 course, Reo Ora: Ko Te Pū, Ko Te More – A Māori Language Course for Beginners (Wiri 2020). In the Level 1–2 course of Reo Ora: Ko Te Pū, Ko Te More, students learnt the 30 sentence patterns and 329 words that enable them to acquire a sound understanding of basic conversational Māori. In this Level 3 course of Reo Ora: Ko Te Weu, we introduce a further twenty sentence patterns that may be considered among the primary sentence structures of te reo Māori.

This programme has been developed over the last thirty years through rigorous teaching and practice. There are many ways of teaching and learning a language. Learners have different styles of learning, just as teachers have different styles of teaching. There are many ways to learn te reo Māori, ranging from language immersion classes (reo rumaki) to Te Ataarangi method (using coloured rākau or rods), at wānanga-ā-iwi (tribal wānanga), at mainstream wānanga (such as Te Wānanga o Aotearoa) and at polytechnics and universities. Whatever your preferred language learning style is, there is one thing that has not changed, and that is the grammar of the Māori language. In saying that, the main goals of this programme are to ensure that students pronounce Māori words and phrases correctly and that their Māori language grammar is also correct.

Throughout my career as a te reo Māori lecturer, I have worked in all the different tertiary sectors of education, including wānanga, polytechnics and universities. In this time, I was fortunate enough to be given the opportunity to learn and observe the various ways of teaching te reo Māori in a variety of settings. Each of these institutions has its own unique style of teaching, its own curriculum and its own tribal protocol and dialects. However, no matter where you learn or how you learn, the language content and grammar of te reo Māori remain the same. What makes this course unique is that we have developed a strategy and method that will improve your proficiency level (kōunga reo) from beginner (Te Kore) to intermediate (Te Pō) to advanced (Awatea) by teaching seventy-five sentence patterns that will enable you to speak, listen to, read and write te reo Māori with competence and confidence.

How do we teach you these seventy-five sentence patterns? In our beginner level course of Reo Ora, you learn the thirty basic language patterns of te reo Māori. Once you have successfully completed the beginner level course, you can progress to the intermediate level. In that course, you learn a further twenty sentence patterns. Finally, in the advanced level course, you learn the next twenty-five language patterns. We use this book, in conjunction with an online course, to help you become completely proficient in te reo Māori over three progressive twelve-week blocks. Each block requires 100 hours of self-directed learning through our online course of Reo Ora (www.reoora.com) and using the books and resources provided.

What is our method of teaching and learning?

We have a five-step method, which is explained below:

STEP 1

Me whakaatu

First, we show you the Māori sentence pattern.

For example:

Kei te hanga a Heta i te whare.

Heta is building the house.

STEP 2

Me whakahua tika

Second, we teach you how to say the sentence correctly.

For example, please repeat this sentence after me:

Kōrero mai: ‘Kei te hanga a Heta i te whare.’

STEP 3

Me āta whakamārama

Third, we explain the grammar and structure of the sentence in a simple way.

For example:

The structure of this sentence is VSO, which means Verb + Subject + Object:

Kei te hanga a Heta i te whare.

What is the verb in the above sentence?

The correct answer is ‘hanga’, which means ‘build’.

What is the subject in the above sentence?The correct answer is ‘Heta’.

What is the object in the above sentence?The correct answer is ‘whare’.

Now, let’s put it all together with the VSO formula(Verb + Subject + Object):

Kei te hanga a Heta i te whare.

Verb      Subject      Object

Heta is building the house.

STEP 4

Me whakaharatau

You must practise and repeat this sentence pattern at least three times with different examples of the same pattern and with different words each time.

For example:

Kei te tahitahi a Heta i te whare.

Heta is sweeping the house.

Kei te tahitahi a Heta i te papa.

Heta is sweeping the floor.

Kei te horoi a Heta i te waka.

Heta is washing the car.

Linguists say repetition of sentence structure is the most effective way of learning a language. The more you repeat a sentence pattern the better. The key is to make sure that you can remember examples and use them in everyday situations.

STEP 5

Me whakamāori tika

Next, you need to translate the sentence pattern into Māori correctly and without any help.

For example:

Whakamāoritia tēnei kōrero. Translate this sentence into Māori.

Mere is washing the car.

Example of an incorrect answer:Kei te Mere a horoi i te waka.

The correct answer is:Kei te horoi a Mere i te waka.

A common error that many learners encounter is that they sometimes put the verb and the subject around the wrong way. To explain further, the structure of Māori is different to English. In English, you put the subject (Mere) first and the verb (clean) second. In Māori, we put the verb (horoi) first and the subject (Mere) second.

This explains our simple five-step method.To reiterate:

1.

Me whakaatu

Show the sentence.

2.

Me whakahua tika

Say the sentence correctly.

3.

Me āta whakamārama

Explain the structure of the sentence.

4.

Me whakaharatau

Practise the sentence pattern by repeating it, with different examples, at least three times.

5.

Me whakamāori tika

Translate the sentence patterns correctly into Māori.
