Description

This book presents a range of perspectives on the way language, diversity and identity are reflected in New Zealand children's literature, based on the published research of Nicola Daly, an Associate Professor in the Division of Education of the University of Waikato and her colleagues.

The book is organised into two sections. The first section examines the use of Te Reo Maori and English in the text of New Zealand picturebooks, exploring the linguistic landscape of Maori-English bilingual picturebooks. The second section, The Pedagogical Potential of Picturebooks, explores how picturebooks featuring Maori, English, New Zealand Sign Language (NZSL) and Pacific languages reflect identity and support diversity in society. Research from several educational contexts ranging from kindergarten to university where picturebooks are used to support learning language and learning about language is also discussed. Themes of language, identity, and diversity are explored throughout
