The intent of the standard

This achievement standard assesses the student's ability to interact in spoken reo Māori to share and respond to information, ideas, and opinions with others. Students will interact in spoken reo Māori in pairs or groups.

In preparing for and engaging with this achievement standard, students will develop confidence, understand conversational cues, and enhance their ability to converse in spoken reo Māori.
This achievement standard draws on the following Significant Learning:

explore te reo Māori commonly used to express personal information, ideas, and opinions in everyday contexts

develop communicative skills and strategies to present and exchange simple information, ideas, and opinions in a range of predictable situations

understand their contribution to the revitalisation of the language for the good of the collective

connect with those outside the classroom to explore and learn from the community and from examples of Māori success

practise and enjoy experimenting with a wide range of spoken, written, and visual communication in te reo Māori

explore the key values of Māori culture and Māori principles embedded in the language

explore how language and culture affect, and work together in, communication.

Making reliable judgements

The achievement standard shows the student's ability to engage in authentic unrehearsed and unscripted conversation by utilising appropriate vocabulary and sentence structures. At higher levels of achievement, students will demonstrate greater variety and control of language and flexibility in using interactive strategies to enhance conversation and engage with others.

Collecting evidence

The evidence for this achievement standard will be collected from the interaction. Students must talk about a context (or events and experiences) and ensure they use sufficient language to meet the requirements for this standard.

As part of a teaching and learning programme, teachers will provide students with opportunities to practise interacting in spoken reo Māori with their classmates to explore the range of language and interactive strategies they have been introduced to.

Students must not rehearse the exact task with their partner(s) prior to the assessment. This means, they must not pre-plan or be provided the exact order of questions, or the nature of their partners' contributions during conversation. Entirely rote-learned or scripted role plays will not meet the requirements of this achievement standard. However, students may practise the language that is necessary to complete an assessment activity successfully.

Assessors must follow the Conditions of Assessment for collection of evidence.

Possible contexts

The contexts for this achievement standard are events, or experiences that are familiar and relevant to the student.

Examples include:

organising activities or events

understanding others and enhancing relationships

sharing personal experiences and interests.

Literacy and Numeracy requirements

This achievement standard has been approved for Te Reo Matatini and Literacy in 2024 and 2025.

What is Te Reo Māori about?

"Ko te reo te taikura o te whakaao mārama"
Language is the key to understanding -Te Wharehuia Milroy
Te reo Māori is the key to understanding the Māori world. Te Reo Māori lays the foundation of communicative skills and cultural knowledge to enable students to be bilingual and bicultural with an appreciation and consideration of a Māori worldview.

In line with the government's commitment to ensure that all New Zealanders have an opportunity to learn and speak te reo Māori as expressed in the Maihi Karauna, "Audacious Goal 2: By 2040, one million New Zealanders (or more) will have the ability and confidence to talk about at least basic things in te reo Māori", there is a strong emphasis on the acquisition and improvement of oral language competence in Te Reo Māori as a subject area.

Te Reo Māori is taught to a highly diverse group of students, in many different contexts, including Māori students who are taking the opportunity to reclaim their heritage language and culture and non-Māori beginning their journey into the Māori world that will strengthen the bicultural and bilingual fabric of Aotearoa New Zealand.

Big Ideas and Significant Learning

The following four big ideas serve as a foundation for learning and assessment of NCEA Te Reo Māori. These elements were crafted by Sir Tīmoti Kāretu and others as a motto for Te Kōhanga Reo, and later adopted by Te Māngai Pāho and Te Panekiretanga o Te Reo (The Institute of Excellence in the Māori Language) in the belief that the combination of these elements provides an avenue for a learner to reach a level of excellence.

The five main language skills necessary for effective communication, namely listening, speaking, reading, writing and cultural awareness, are interrelated, and this will be reflected in the teaching and learning programme for Te Reo Māori.

It is vital that students demonstrate contextual understanding of Te Reo Māori with accuracy, fluency and cultural integrity.

It is also important that students contribute to the revitalisation of the language for the good of the collective.

Key Competencies in Te Reo Māori

Students will apply a range of communicative skills in a variety of contexts that will enable them to express their thoughts in te reo Māori with accuracy, fluency, cultural integrity and gain an understanding of language revitalisation.

Students of Te Reo Māori will develop self-managing skills and strategies that will enable them to know when to lead or follow, and when and how to act independently or collectively for the benefit of te ao Māori.

Students of Te Reo Māori will apply creative and critical thinking, as well as metacognitive processes to make sense of information, experiences and ideas which will inspire them to be lifelong learners of te reo Māori.

Students of Te Reo Māori, in tandem with learning tikanga Māori, will strengthen their own identity, therefore, providing a strong foundation for them to create and nurture relationships with others and the environment.

The ideas, values and attitudes developed from a Māori worldview expressed through te reo Māori will enable students of Te Reo Māori to be culturally confident and competent to participate in and contribute to Māorix language and culture revitalisation within their communities.

Te kōrerorero i ngā pārongo, i ngā ariā me ngā whakaaro

The evidence submitted for this Achievement Standard may not also be submitted for 92093 (1.2) Te Whakapuaki whakaaro e pā ana ki tētahi horopaki e ora nei te reo.

The evidence for this achievement standard will be collected from the interaction. Students must talk about their context (or related events and experiences) and ensure they use sufficient language to meet the requirements for this standard. The interaction must take place in real time and show that the student can use spoken reo Māori to respond to information, ideas, and opinions.

Students may work in pairs or a group. If students are working in a group, it is essential that each student contributes enough appropriate language to meet the requirements of this standard. Assessors may assist students in selecting a suitable partner or partners.

Each interaction submitted as evidence must:

be a single video recording without any edits

be clearly audible and allow for each student to be identified clearly.

Assessors may:
provide images or objects which can be used to prompt conversation, as long as they don't include reo Māori text.
Students may:
refer to prompts given by the assessor.
Students may not:

practise the exact task with their partner(s) prior to the assessment

rote-learn or script role-plays

be provided with any scaffolding, instruction, teaching, or other forms of guidance during the assessment

use te reo Māori notes, language learning resources, or dictionaries during the assessment.

Te whakapuaki whakaaro e pā ana ki tētahi horopaki e ora nei te reo

Standard-specific Requirements

The evidence submitted for this Achievement Standard may not also be submitted for 92092 (1.1) Te kōrerorero i ngā pārongo, i ngā ariā me ngā whakaaro.

Submissions should consist of one piece of work. The submission may be in written, spoken, or a combination of spoken and written reo Māori. If a combination of both is chosen, the spoken and written language content must be complementary to each other, and students should not only be reading out what has been written.

The submission may consist of evidence involving one or more people, but students will be assessed individually. Where a collaborative approach to collecting evidence is used, assessors must ensure that each student has met the requirements of the Standard individually.

Assessor involvement during the assessment event is limited to providing students with feedback on the technical aspects of their work only, for example, formatting, design, or audio, visual, and image quality. Assessors must not provide feedback on student language be it written or spoken.

Assessors must ensure that students are only assessed based on the quality of language.
Students may not:

copy whole sentences or passages from any source without significant modification

use any digital language tools (for example, translators) other than dictionaries

have anyone else point out errors, edit, or correct their work before handing it in for assessment.
