This course will introduce students to te reo Māori me ngā tikanga-a-iwi as a foundational knowledge and skill for the profession of teaching in Aotearoa New Zealand. Students will be introduced to key research and theory in 1st/2nd language acquisition & development, and related teaching approaches/methods. The course will contribute to an emerging understanding of the importance of a bilingual/bicultural learning context for learners, and how teachers can work effectively within these. Students will develop and strengthen their te reo Māori language proficiency and gather information from relevant sources, including research, to develop the initial knowledge-base and skills for teaching within tiriti based educational programmes. Students will develop and foster collaborative teaching and learning within a bicultural/tiriti based curriculum. Students will develop an understanding of the integration of a Māori perspective into their work with children, whānau and community. This course will require students to think critically about how to give effect to the provisions of te Tiriti o Waitangi as education professionals. This course is designed to develop students’ oral competency and understanding of te reo Māori and tikanga appropriate to a variety of learning contexts.
