NCEA Level 1 English

Ko te reo te tuakiri

Ko te reo te ora

Language is my identity
Language is my uniqueness
Language is life

English is the study, use, and enjoyment of the English language, communicated orally, visually, and in writing, for a range of purposes and audiences and in a variety of forms. It is creative and critical, receptive and productive. In Aotearoa New Zealand, the study of English incorporates mātauranga Māori and considers our place in the Pacific.  Through English, ākonga are empowered to develop the literacy, communication, and interpersonal skills they need to access learning in other subjects and contexts. Studying English also develops the critical thinking and analytical skills that are valued in all subjects and in many occupations.
