Translanguaging in a Bilingual Context in Aotearoa New Zealand: A Case Study of a Multi-Level Paper Focused on Writing Skills in Te Reo Maori
Abstract
The integration of translanguaging as a pedagogical tool in the tertiary education context is integral for supporting the revitalisation of te reo Māori. Māori are the indigenous people of Aotearoa and te reo Māori the indigenous language. Drawing on a case study, this chapter examines how translanguaging practices enhance language learning and foster cultural identity. The challenges faced by Māori students are highlighted, particularly in an urban setting where the use of the Māori language is less prevalent. The potential of translanguaging to create inclusive, dynamic, and collaborative learning environments is discussed, particularly through the tuakana-teina mentoring model, and from both the lecturer and student perspectives. The findings suggest that embracing superdiversity in higher education can promote a holistic, culturally responsive approach to learning in a te reo Māori environment. A call to action completes this chapter, with a call for policy reforms and institutional changes to better support linguistic, and cultural diversity in Aotearoa universities.
