Level 1 Gagana Sāmoa (SAM101)
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mr S. Nofoaiga.
Gagana Sāmoa
This learning language course is designed to meet the wide and varied needs of Samoan language learners through communicative use of all FOUR strands of any learning language – listening, speaking, reading and writing. The course develops students’ ability to communicate information, ideas and opinions in Samoan in different situations. Students will develop their understanding of spoken and written Samoan through study of self, identity and family as overarching ideas. Note that for level one Gagana Samoa, the emphasis is largely on building blocks of language structures rather than focusing on the cultural conventions of the language.
