Opis

This book raises questions in several different academic spaces, drawing on research from adult second language acquisition, teaching pedagogy, language revitalisation, social psychology and Maori studies. The book contributes to these spaces by researching an area with a large amount of room for growth in terms of support for the Maori language, the workplace. Even though the workplace is not the first context that needs to be focused on, it is a context that is starting to be explored in New Zealand and hopefully this context will become a space where te reo is used regularly in the near future.
