Transitions within the centre & to school: Research at a Samoan-language immersion centre

Abstract

How are children's languages, identity, and confidence supported during transitions? This article describes participant research on innovative practices in transition at a Samoan-immersion early childhood “Centre of Innovation”. The research investigated the relationship between learning and language continuity as children and educators make transitions from the point of entry to the centre through to beginning school. This collaborative action-research project is generating new findings on transitions.
