Poutuarongo Reo Māori
Bachelor of Te Reo Māori
Ko te reo te kuaha ki te ao Māori - Te reo is the doorway to understanding the world of our tūpuna. Te reo Māori is also the means to express our unique place in the universe. If your desire is to speak, understand and become an exponent of te reo Māori, this qualification will get you there with its proven methods for intensive, accelerated language learning.
Fostering competency alongside a love and respect for te reo Māori is a key aspiration for Poutuarongo Reo Māori students at Te Wānanga o Raukawa. The first year of this degree (Heke Reo Māori) focuses on developing confidence in speaking, listening and understanding the language as well as introducing key Māori concepts and values. You will attend immersion classes Monday to Friday with a number of residential seminars (noho) throughout the year to provide context and depth to the learnings.
You will need to enrol and complete the first year of the Heke Reo Māori before enrolling in years 2 & 3 of the Poutuarongo Reo degree.
In years two and three, students continue to expand their kete of vocabulary, grammar, waiata, karakia and understanding of kawa and tikanga. Studies include research on your own iwi, hapū and marae so you can stand confidently knowing who you are. On completion of this tohu you will have attained a high level of proficiency in the language, be confident to converse in te reo Māori and gained competency in mihimihi, whai kaupapa, karakia and waiata.
As a graduate you will be well positioned to enter post-graduate level studies in te reo Māori, or undertake further study towards a range of careers including teaching, broadcasting, research and policy development. Having fluency of te reo Māori is a key factor that will set you apart from others competing in the same work space. All students are encouraged to speak their iwi dialect.
