He Whakaaturanga mō Te Wiki o te Reo Māori
A series of short videos have been put together for Te Wiki o te Reo Māori 2015. Within each of these videos two questions are posed. Question 1: What is the benefit of learning te reo Māori?, and Question 2: What are some learning strategies for Māori language learners? These videos are being played around Victoria University to increase the sound of te reo Māori in public domains in an attempt to normalise the use of te reo Māori in these spaces.
State of te Reo Māori address, Professor Tīmoti Kāretu
