Abstract:
Effective Pedagogy for Bilingual/ Immersion Education While much has been written about the advantages of being bilingual and of Bilingual Education programmes , little has been presented about the specific pedagogies (principled theorised practices) which might ensure it works well in a range of settings. Using the Aotearoa/New Zealand bilingual /immersion education experience with Maori and Pacific and work from the Pacific islands themselves, this paper presents key ideas from emerging previously unpublished research which may be of significant pedagogical importance and work well in a range of Pacific settings .
