Community Contexts of Bilingual Education: A study of six South Island Primary School Programmes [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
Community contexts of Māori-English Bilingual Education is a multi-case study of six primary school bilingual programmes located throughout the South Island. These six progammes comprised the total number of programmes officially designated by the (former) Department of Education as bilingual and which were administered from the Southern Regional Office of the Department. Each of these programmes employed the services of kaiarahi reo and had been in operation for at least one school year at the beginning of Term 1, 1989. The focus of the study is the interlocking sociocultural and pedagogical contexts which affect, and which, in turn, are affected by the recent inclusion of Māori as a language of instruction within the New Zealand public school system. A number of issues are covered in the study; incluyding the rationales for establishing programmes, staffing policies and procedures, resource allocation, bilingual teaching methodology, the range and depth of bilingual and bicultural innovation, community involvement and levels of satisfaction and concern with the programmes.
