Save your actual school result to count your credits.
This standard asks you to listen carefully to three extended spoken Samoan passages and show that you understand what you've heard. You need to answer questions about the main ideas, the speaker's perspective, and what they're really saying—not just repeat what was said. You can answer in English, Te Reo Māori, or Samoan.
What to do, grades and common mistakes
- ·Identify and explain the main ideas and key details from each spoken passage
- ·Show you understand the speaker's tone, purpose, and viewpoint—not just the facts they mention
- ·Use specific examples from the passages to support your answers rather than copying or paraphrasing
- ·Interpret what the speaker means beyond the surface level, including what's implied or suggested
- ·Answer all questions fully and organize your responses logically, managing your time so you can complete everything
You identify the general meaning of the passages and provide basic explanations with some supporting details, but your answers are brief and lack depth.
You provide detailed, well-organized answers with specific examples from the passages, demonstrate deeper understanding through interpretation, and show awareness of the speaker's tone and purpose.
