Resources to support internally assessed Levels 1, 2, and 3 registered achievement standards for English.
These resources are aligned with The New Zealand Curriculum (2007).
Use of te reo Māori and other languages in assessments for English achievement standards
English is the primary language to be used when responding to learning outcomes assessed through the English achievement standards (internally and externally assessed standards), rather than te reo Māori or other languages.
It is expected that teachers will use their professional judgement about the use of phrases in te reo Māori or any other language. The use of te reo Māori or other languages is appropriate in written, oral and visual language where it is used to "create meaning and effect" or to reflect a specific context or for a specific audience. In these contexts, te reo Māori or other languages may be used to open in oratory contexts, or in written or visual responses to demonstrate characterisation, context and setting or for other effects. In these situations, it is expected that the majority of the student response is in English.
