The focus of this presentation is on techniques that can be effective when thinking about integrating te reo Māori across the curriculum.

Integration of
te reo Māori
Language is the vehicle by which
thoughts, customs, desires, hopes,
frustrations, history, mythology,
prayers, dreams and knowledge are
communicated from one person to
another. It has been said that a
people without their own language
have no power or unique identity.
(Cleve Barlow, 2001)
