WHAKAREIA O TE KOUNGA O TE REO “Our work in Te Ipukarea in research and the digitisation of te reo Māori is critical in the future survival, development and advancement of the Māori language as one of the three official languages in Aotearoa/New Zealand. Using technology and making available free-to-access resources increases our reach to a greater New Zealand and global population. Importantly, it is a medium which is more appealing and relevant to younger generations of learners in a contemporary world. Our research and digital resources reflect our motto Whakareia o te kounga o te reo, which emphasises the promotion of quality [Māori] language.” |
