Taku Reo and Te Reo Māori tools - A powerful combination

The results data from Taku Reo and Te Reo  Māori  tools provide powerful information to help schools understand student perception of, and capabilities in te reo Māori.

Schools that subscribe to the Te Reo Māori language assessment tool in Term 1 2020 with receive the Taku Reo survey subscription for free.

Te Reo Māori enables students to demonstrate their knowledge of te reo Māori vocabulary. The assessment is for English-medium schools and can be used for Years 4–9. You can select the assessment when you subscribe to NZCER Marking for 2019.

Te Reo Māori is adaptive. That means the level of questions changes according to responses, so the results reflect each student’s ability. Students who choose to listen to the questions can hear good te reo Māori pronunciation. 

Taku Reo Student Survey is an online survey on student perceptions about the use of te reo Māori. It can help increase awareness of the student voice about te reo Māori in schools. It gives you a snapshot of your students’ use of te reo Māori at school, at home, and in the community.  

With emphasis on the revival of the Māori language, and Māori language education in English medium schools, school leadership may be looking for ways to support and strengthen their provision of Māori language education. The Te Reo Māori assessment tool can be used to gauge the level of language knowledge of students in Years 4 - 9. Used in conjunction with Taku Reo survey on student perception of where and how they hear Te Reo Māori used,  schools can build a detailed understanding of both strengths and needs for responsive programme planning.
