Students will critically examine the historical repression of the Maori language/indigenous languages and the growth of language revitalisation movements in the twentieth century. They will review the key educational and Maori development drivers in Maori/iwi led movements: Kohanga Reo, Kura Kaupapa Maori, Wharekua, wananga and bilingual/immersion programmes. They will assess the role that teachers can play in creating and shaping communities of language learners and develop appropriate strategic plans. Note: this course will be taught through the medium of Maori.
On successful completion of the course, students will be able to:1. Demonstrate a broad knowledge of community language revitalisation strategies;2. Critique their own language planning, teaching and learning contexts in light of this knowledge;3. Contextualise this knowledge within the global struggle to save indigenous languages and;4. Create (or co-create) viable plans for whānau, school or community language revitalisation.
