Assessment Report
New Zealand Scholarship Samoan 2022
Standard 93010
Part A: Commentary
Listening to a reading text in Samoan in Question 1 and accurately taking notes in the space provided a sense of agency and / or urgency. An advantage of notetaking is the ability to cross reference during writing time. Question 2 follows with a specific example regarding the Samoan chiefly system in which the paramount chief’s nephew represents the female / male connection, relative to Ma’upū honorifics. Question 3 should naturally be a choice to synthesise information for family genealogy, o le gafa o lo’u ‘aiga.
