Overview
The teacher's resource is an annotated edition of He Rauemi Akonga (student's textbook) combined with He Pukapuka Mahi (student's workbook). It is designed for reference and classroom use by teachers and for self-paced learning by students.
Answers, sometimes with alternatives, are given in red within the various exercises. In the textbook, English translations are given underneath the Hei Mahi instructions. "Whakarongo mai" exercises have an additional reference section that includes the audio transcript, along with scripts for teacher's instructions if the audio version is not being used.
Ian Cormack (Ngäti Mamoe, Ngäi Tahu) draws on decades of experience as a teacher, writer, editor and translator of Mäori for the design of this series. As an adult he has also learned Greek, Italian, German, French, Mandarin and Russian, as well as Mäori. His own learning has put him totally in tune with the needs of other language learners. He is a Mäori Language Commission-qualified interpreter and translator of Mäori.
