Tauira will learn how to introduce themselves, communicate, acknowledge and respond to others. Tauira will be given opportunities to implement the language learnt, in real life situations.

Tauira will also increase their vocabulary and learn correct grammar, explore whakataukī (proverbs), kīwaha (colloquialism),  karakia, waiata, and other aspects of Te Ao Māori.
