poupou huia te reo 1
certificate in māori protocol and language for use in the home and community (Level 4)
This course is ideal if you are comfortable working on a computer, laptop or mobile device in the online environment.
Poupou Huia Te Reo 1 is a 20 week online Māori language course suited to language learners at the beginner to intermediate level. Follow the daily activities of a real whānau through a series of audio lessons and carry out fun online activities to reinforce your learnings. Listen to adaptions of well-known fairytales and engage with peers and tutors online.
Learn language that you can use in the home, at work and in everyday situations. Discover how to talk about common activities in a way that reflects Māori ways of thinking and doing things.
To enrol in this course you will require regular access to the internet and an email address. Course resources are accessed online through our learning platform Mūrau (Moodle). You don’t have to sit at the computer to do this; download and listen to the audio while commuting to work, spend your lunch break doing activities, or when the tamariki have gone to bed. You will learn at your own pace through completing weekly kōwae (modules) allowing you to catch up if life takes over or plan ahead and complete a few modules at a time. Communications for the course occur through email and in online forums.
We recommend you dedicate approximately 12 hours a week to listening activities, exercises and online interaction with others. Encourage your whānau to take the journey with you, which will strengthen your own journey and allow you to practice and use the sentence structures together.
