Ngā Reo
Ko tōku reo tōku ohooho, ko tōku reo tōku māpihi maurea,
Ko tōku reo tōku whakakai marihi.
He aha te tino o te ako i ngā reo?
Ko te hono i waenga i te reo me te horopaki pāpori, ahurea e kōrerotia ai ia, he hono e kore e taea te momotu. Ko te whakatauākī i runga ake nei e whakaū ana i te noho taonga mai o te reo i roto i ngā tikanga ā-iwi. Kua whakaritea te reo ki ngā hanga ātaahua pērā i te whakakai marihi hei whakaatu i te noho kāmehameha o te reo ki te hunga kōrero i taua reo. Inā rā, mā te reo rawa o tētahi iwi e mau ai āna tikanga ā-iwi.
He mahi rangatira te ako i te reo o iwi kē, o whenua kē, he mataaho e karapa ai te titiro ki te āhua, ki ngā tikanga a taua iwi. Me kī, he pōhiri nā taua iwi kia uru koe ki ā rātou tikanga, ki ā rātou ritenga, e āhua rite ana ki tō tātou whakaaro nui ki te manaaki i te tangata. Mā roto i tō tātou mārama ki te whanaungatanga, ina ākona ētahi reo ka torotoroa ō tātou ake whakapapa, ō tātou ake mātauranga, tae atu ki te tuakiri ā-whānau, te tuakiri whaiaro, otirā, me te whai wāhi ki ngā ritenga, ki ngā kōrero tuku iho, ki ngā tikanga me ngā mātauranga ahurea o ētahi atu.
Mā roto i tēnei wāhanga ako, ka takoto he anga mō te whakaako me te ako i ngā reo i tua atu i te reo whakaako. Ko te taumata 1 o te marautanga te wāhi e tīmata ai ngā ākonga karekau ō rātou mōhiotanga ki te reo e ākona ana, ahakoa kei tēhea paparanga o te kura rātou e mahi ana.
