Abstract
This article investigates the benefits of localising Māori
language curriculum content alongside the Te Whanake
Series currently being taught in Te Tumu, University of
Otāgo. A key finding of the research is that students’
learning and understanding could be improved by
introducing a local context to aid students’ retention
of information and enhance their language learning
experiences.
