We are proud to develop Pacific dual-language resources for the Ministry of Education. We recently published a set of print and online resources to support the early language and literacy learning of Pacific children in early childhood services. These resources are based on the second language acquisition principle that utilising a child’s heritage language/s helps to strengthen English language and literacy.
The resources include dual-language picture books, audio files, e-books, and kaiako and family support materials in gagana Sāmoa, gagana Tokelau, lea faka-Tonga, te reo Māori Kūki ‘Āirani, and vagahau Niue, as well as English.
