Te tūhura i ngā tikanga o te reo
This standard asks you to explore and understand how Māori language works—specifically the patterns and conventions that shape how language is used in different contexts. You need to identify these patterns, explain how they apply to real situations, and explore alternative ways to express similar meanings. It's about looking closely at how the structure of te reo Māori differs from English and works in different contexts.
You identify language patterns in te reo Māori and explain what they are and how they work in a given context.
You analyse language patterns across different contexts, explain how their use changes depending on the situation, and show alternative ways to express similar ideas.
You critically examine language patterns, identify when and why they apply (and when they don't), explore multiple alternative expressions with sophistication, and demonstrate deep understanding of how these patterns differ from English.
