title: In service provision for teachers of Maori language and teachers who teach through the medium of Maori: A working model reviewed

authors: Johnson, Diane

subjects: te reo Māori

abstract: This paper reports on the design, administration and effectiveness of an in-service programme designed by the University of Waikato in partnership with the New Zealand Ministry of Education. The programme aims to: improve language proficiency; assist with the interpretation and implementation of Māori curriculum statements; address issues involved in teaching Māori and teaching through the medium of Māori; assist with lesson planning and lesson delivery, materials development and testing and assessment.

title: The arguing genre and the explaining genre: A comparison in terms of discourse relational analyses of texts written in English and texts written in Māori

authors: Crombie, Winifred

subjects: Māori linguistics

abstract: There is a commonly held belief that those who are immersed in indigenous cultures have a tendency, when constructing academic texts, to avoid sequential, deductive argumentation. We report here on a comparison of two groups of texts exhibiting two different genres - 'explaining' and 'arguing'. One group of texts was written in Māori by indigenous authors, the other group was written in English by non-indigenous authors. Our findings are that although the percentage use of logico-deductive relationships is roughly equivalent for both groups of texts/ writers in the case of the explaining genre, the Māori texts/ writers use almost twice the percentage of logico-deductive relationships as do the English texts/ writers.

title: Tris(tert-butylisonitrile)hexacarbonyl- 3-ethylidyne-triangulo-tricobalt(I)(3 Co-Co)

authors: Brown, Jolene Mary

subjects: chemistry

abstract: The title molecule, [Co3(C2H3)(C5H9N)3(CO)6] or [Co3(3-CCH3)(CNtBu)3(CO)6], lies on a threefold rotation axis. The three isonitrile ligands each occupy an equatorial site on each of the three Co atoms. The average Co-Co bond length is 2.4769 (6) Å. The tert-butyl groups are disordered over two orientations, with site occupancies of ca 0.6:0.4.
