The evidence for this Achievement Standard will be one student-generated piece which may be presented in spoken or written te reo Māori. The volume of evidence submitted should allow the student to demonstrate the best of their ability and knowledge. Some students may require more time or scope to produce sufficient evidence.

This assessment will be completed individually.

Students should:

• produce work that is their own
• record their evidence for authenticity purposes.

In the preparation of the assessment activity, students may use:

• reference materials such as class notes, video clips, audio recordings
•  textbooks
•  online or paper dictionaries.

Students should not:

•  copy whole sentences or passages from any source
•  use online translators or other digital resources

Teachers should ensure the outcome is appropriate for Level 6 of the New Zealand Curriculum.

Evidence may be submitted in one of the following two ways:

• audio/video recordings of student responses 
• written responses

The evidence for this Achievement Standard will be one student-generated piece in spoken or written te reo Māori. The total amount of evidence should be 2 minutes for spoken evidence, or 200 words written evidence.

• The interactions must take place in real time and show that the student can respond momentarily using te reo Māori, whether in spoken or written form.
• Any spoken language submitted as evidence must be video recorded. The student must be easily identifiable and clearly audible in the video recording.
• Any written interaction submitted as evidence must be witnessed by the teacher as it happens. Students should then submit a hard or digital copy of the interaction.

Students may not:

• copy/paste materials into any written evidence
• use any notes, resources, or dictionaries during their interactions.

Students may work in groups of more than two, but are assessed individually. If working in a group of more than two people, it is essential that each learner ensures they contribute enough appropriate language to meet the standard.

Oral presentations may be given with or without an audience.

Teachers should ensure that the outcome is appropriate for Level 6 of the New Zealand Curriculum.

Evidence may be presented by the student in a range of forms, for example:

• a formal acknowledgement (mihi) and response
• a conversation
• to give & follow instructions.
