English

What is English about?  The Learning Area's whakataukī is: 

Ko te reo te tuakiri             Language is my identity 
Ko te reo tōku ahurei            Language is my uniqueness
Ko te reo te ora                 Language is life

English is the study, use, and enjoyment of the English language and its literature; communicated orally, visually, and in writing, for a range of purposes and audiences and in a variety of text forms. It is creative and critical, receptive and productive. The study of English encompasses learning the language, learning through the language, and learning about the language. At the heart of studying English in Aotearoa New Zealand, is developing the ability to make meaning of ideas in texts, and create meaning from texts. Students engage with text-based activities of increasing complexity to become skilled and proficient speakers, listeners, readers, writers, presenters and viewers.
