Kāinga Kōrerorero - Reo in Homes
Kōrerohia te reo Māori, i ngā wā katoa, i ngā wāhi katoa! – Speak the Māori language, all the time, everywhere!
As part of the Trust's work to promote the cultural development and education of Ngāti Rangitihi, we are proud to support the Kāinga Kōrerorero programme. Kāinga Kōrerorero supports whānau language development with advice on methods, initiatives and resources that facilitate intergenerational transmission of Te Reo Māori.
Supporting our Ngāti Rangitihi whānau to reclaim the reo within their own homes and to encourage the passing on of the reo to the next generation is a key facet to the cultural development and education goals in our Strategic Plan.

Innovative
Kāinga Kōrerorero is a programme that supports whānau members to speak Māori to each other in the home. Mentors will be assigned to work with whānau members to identify what they want to learn and how they like to learn. All mentors are all fluent Māori speakers with exceptional skills in teaching. They will provide information to whānau on the best ways to learn a second language and help to create a supportive environment for learners to speak Māori.
The focus of this Programme is on the learning needs of the whānau. Mentors will work with fluent speakers to raise their awareness of the challenges second language learners face. The mentors role is to provide information and advisory support, not teach te reo Māori. Language resources will be developed and others adapted to suit the learner's needs.

- The effectiveness of this approach is well researched .
- The key to the survival of the Māori language is to establish it as the principal language of use by whānau in their homes and communities.
