Overview:
To further develop knowledge and understanding of te reo me ona tikanga
Programme:
The programme is tuakana teina (older/ younger) based.
Tuakana/teina refers to the relationship between an older (tuakana) person and a younger (teina) person and is specific to teaching and learning in the Māori context. Within teaching and learning contexts, this can take a variety of forms:
- Peer to peer – teina teaches teina, tuakana teaches tuakana.
- Younger to older – the teina has some skills in an area that the tuakana does not and is able to teach the tuakana.
- Older to younger – the tuakana has the knowledge and content to pass on to the teina.
- Able to less able – the learner may not be as able in an area and someone more skilled can teach what is required.
The role of the tuakana is to provide consistent, good-quality examples of Māori language use. The tuakana does not teach or correct the teina, who at first is required only to listen. In time the teina will begin to understand and reproduce the language used by the tuakana.
