abstract   bibtex   
One of the aims of Maori-medium education is to address Maori language loss. One of the challenges facing Maori-medium educators is to identify configurations that acknowledge the substantive importance of English language instruction without detracting from the priority that must be given to the regeneration of the Maori language. Issues relating to Maori/English bilingualism & assessment development in the New Zealand context are introduced & discussed in light of local & international literature on language acquisition & other related fields. This paper also presents & compares the results of testing from 1995 & 2002-2003 using a reconstructed standardized assessment in literacy for Year 2 students in 80-100% immersion in Maori as a measure of literacy & Maori language acquisition. 14 Tables, 52 References.
