Maori bilingual education and language revitalisation. Spolsky, B. Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 10(2):89–106, January, 1989. ![Maori bilingual education and language revitalisation [link]](https://bibbase.org/img/filetypes/link.svg "link")
Paper doi abstract bibtex The attempts at Maori language revival started in the 1970s, at a stage when there were few children still growing up speaking the language. The most important innovation has been the development of pre‐school language nests; several thousand children now come to elementary school after a pre‐school programme taught entirely or mainly in Maori. There are some bilingual schools; a growing number of elementary schools with Maori immersion in the first one or two years; and some high school programmes. The paper describes a number of these schools, discusses the way that the bilingual programmes define and establish Maori space in the schools, mentions the issue of local and tribal concerns, and argues that there is the basis here for revitalisation of the language.
