Centre for Language Revitalisation

Centre for Language Revitalisation Te Whare o Rongomaurikura, the Centre for Language Revitalisation, was established in 2011, and is located within the Te Ipukarea Research Institute at AUT.

Te Whare o Rongomaurikura, the Centre for Language Revitalisation, is dedicated to upholding Te Ipukarea's commitment to the revitalisation of te reo Māori (the Māori language) as well as supporting Indigenous and endangered language revitalisation. It was conceptualised and developed in response to international inquiries and requests from language revitalisation groups interested in the work be

ing developed by Te Ipukarea for the Māori language. The Centre has provided the opportunity to share the frameworks for these resources with other communitites so that Indigenous and endangered languages globally may benefit from the research conducted by Te Ipukarea for the Māori language. Our long-standing motto, 'whakareia te kounga o te reo', reflects our pursuit of excellence in the scholarship, research, and teaching of te reo Māori (the Māori language).

Here is an article on recent language research that suggests key areas we need to focus on in order for the language to survive. One of our institute colleagues was part of the research team. Below is the reference to the full article that the Stuff report mentions.

Teaching young Māori and increasing resources in immersion schools is the best way to save the language.
