01Gagana Tokelau: Listening, Reading and Viewing
Domain 1 tests receptive Gagana Tokelau: you listen to short spoken texts, read short written texts and view simple visual texts, then show you understood the main idea, specific details and purpose.

Domain 3 tests how well you read Tokelauan language and behaviour through Tokelauan values, not through your own cultural defaults.

Domain 4 tests how you use Gagana Tokelau beyond the classroom: with family, at church or village events, in sport, in media and online.
