Education and Social Work

2021 Semester One (1213) (30 POINTS)

Course Prescription

Through an exploration of second language acquisition and pedagogical processes, including an analysis of the latest learning technologies, this course will enable critical reflection on current Te Reo Māori teaching practices, enhanced language development, and an opportunity to evaluate and strengthen the effectiveness of one's own Te Reo Māori teaching practice. This course will be taught in Te Reo Māori.

Course Overview

Ko te whakataukī reo o te Ao Māori i tēnei wā, ko te kōrero e kī ana, kia rere, kia tika, kia Māori! te reo o te hunga e kōrero Māori ana. Ko ngā pātai pakirehua matua (key inquiry questions) ka tūhuratia i roto i tēnei kōwae ako ko ēnei:
  • He pēhea nei te matatau o tō reo? 
  • Me pēhea te whakapiki i te kounga o ō pūkenga reo? 
  • Me pēhea hoki te whakapiki i te kounga me te whaihua o to ako mā te huarahi o te reo Māori? 
I roto i tēnei kōwae ako tohu paerua ka tirohia ngā rangahau, ngā ariā me ngā rautaki ako e whakanikonikotia ai te kounga o tō reo me te kounga o tō whakaako i te reo, mā te reo hoki. 
Te Ao Māori’s current language mantra is Kia rere, kia tika, kia Māori!
Just exactly how proficient is your reo?
How can we teach more effectively in te reo Māori?
The two foci of this course are growing your proficiency in te reo Māori and deepening your understanding of the pedagogical theories and methodologies that underpin the effective teaching of and through te reo Māori.

Workload Expectations

This course is a standard 30 point course and students are expected to spend 20 hours per week involved in each 30 point course that they are enrolled in.

For this course, there will be a negotiation in the balance of lectures, tutorials, hours of reading and thinking about the content and hours of work on assignments and/or test preparation (but this should equate to around 200-240 hours of independent work over the semester).

Delivery Mode

Campus Experience

Attendance is expected at scheduled activities including tutorials to complete components of the course.

Some lectures may be available as recordings. Other learning activities including tutorials will not be available as recordings.

The course will not include live online events.

Attendance on campus is required for the exam.

The activities for the course are scheduled as a standard block timetable on selected Saturdays.

Learning Resources

There is no required textbook for this course. A range of articles and course materials will be provided through Talis, the University’s online reading list management system.

Student Feedback

At the end of every semester students will be invited to give feedback on the course and teaching through a tool called SET or Qualtrics. The lecturers and course co-ordinators will consider all feedback and respond with summaries and actions.

Your feedback helps teachers to improve the course and its delivery for future students.

Class Representatives in each class can take feedback to the department and faculty staff-student consultative committees.

Digital Resources

Course materials are made available in a learning and collaboration tool called Canvas which also includes reading lists and lecture recordings (where available).

Please remember that the recording of any class on a personal device requires the permission of the instructor.

Academic Integrity

The University of Auckland will not tolerate cheating, or assisting others to cheat, and views cheating in coursework as a serious academic offence. The work that a student submits for grading must be the student's own work, reflecting their learning. Where work from other sources is used, it must be properly acknowledged and referenced. This requirement also applies to sources on the internet. A student's assessed work may be reviewed against online source material using computerised detection mechanisms.

Inclusive Learning

All students are asked to discuss any impairment related requirements privately, face to face and/or in written form with the course coordinator, lecturer or tutor.

Student Disability Services also provides support for students with a wide range of impairments, both visible and invisible, to succeed and excel at the University. For more information and contact details, please visit the Student Disability Services’ website http://disability.auckland.ac.nz

Special Circumstances

If your ability to complete assessed coursework is affected by illness or other personal circumstances outside of your control, contact a member of teaching staff as soon as possible before the assessment is due.

If your personal circumstances significantly affect your performance, or preparation, for an exam or eligible written test, refer to the University’s aegrotat or compassionate consideration page https://www.auckland.ac.nz/en/students/academic-information/exams-and-final-results/during-exams/aegrotat-and-compassionate-consideration.html.

This should be done as soon as possible and no later than seven days after the affected test or exam date.

Learning Continuity

In the event of an unexpected disruption we undertake to maintain the continuity and standard of teaching and learning in all your courses throughout the year. If there are unexpected disruptions the University has contingency plans to ensure that access to your course continues and your assessment is fair, and not compromised. Some adjustments may need to be made in emergencies. You will be kept fully informed by your course co-ordinator, and if disruption occurs you should refer to the University Website for information about how to proceed.

Student Charter and Responsibilities

The Student Charter assumes and acknowledges that students are active participants in the learning process and that they have responsibilities to the institution and the international community of scholars. The University expects that students will act at all times in a way that demonstrates respect for the rights of other students and staff so that the learning environment is both safe and productive.
