Subject Notes
Waititi, Hoani Retimana, 1926-1965. Te Whanau-a-Apanui; teacher, educationalist, community leader
He was chief examiner of Maori in the School Certificate examination, and worked on developing new teaching techniques. Co-operating with the Maori Language Advisory Committee, he wrote two volumes entitled Te rangatahi (1962-64). These language courses were to become the standard texts for learning Maori at all levels, including university, for decades. They avoided grammar rules, substituting a sustained use of increasingly complex grammatical constructions. Through a gradually expanded vocabulary and the adventures of their main character, Tamahae of Te Kaha, students were introduced to Maori rural life, expanding in Book 2 into the urban environment and the wider world".--abridged
