  • The ability to both recognise and produce a full range of structures in spoken Māori.
  • The ability to both recognise and produce a full range of structures in written Māori.
  • A developing ability to talk about the structure of Māori, using appropriate metalanguage or technical terms.
  • A wide range of idiomatic expressions – you may wish to refer to Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori, 1999. He Kohinga Kīwaha. Wellington: Reed, as a source of these.
  • A good understanding of the typical differences between spoken and written Māori.
  • A more sophisticated knowledge of the range of types of spoken and written texts in Māori, both formal and informal, and how these are structured (for example: waiata, karanga, whaikōrero but also the structure of typical communicative events such as pōhiri, tangihanga, meetings).
  • The ability to produce a wide range of text types in Māori with flair and accuracy.
