A Way Forward for Te Reo Maori in English-Medium Education
No full textAotearoa is the home of the Māori people and their language; te reo Māori. When European settlers arrived, they brought with them a new language; English. The Treaty of Waitangi was signed in 1840 and guaranteed Māori rangatiratanga (chiefly control) over their taonga, including te reo Māori. Over the years a negative language shift has occurred with many Māori moving from speaking te reo Māori to English. Although many initiatives, such as kōhanga reo were implemented in the 1980s, te reo Māori is still in a critical state. This research project is about te reo Māori experiences of both Māori and non-Māori whom were all attached to a English-medium primary school in Aotearoa/New Zealand. This study sought to understand the ways in which te reo Māori was being passed on, or not, from person to person and from one generation to the next

Indawmon Ng & Mar & Shih 2020, new genus
No full textIndawmon, new genus Type species. Indawmon thanayei, new species, by present designation and monotypy. Diagnosis. Adult carapace transversely ovate; epigastric cristae anterior to postorbital cristae; postorbital cristae not reaching anterolateral margin; anterolateral margin cristate, lined with low granules; third maxilliped with slender exopod with long flagellum; male pleon broadly triangular; male thoracic sternites 3 and 4 longitudinally elongate, with sternopleonal cavity reaching only to imaginary line connecting proximal edge of coxae of chelipeds; press-button tubercle of male sternopleonal locking mechanism laterally flattened, distal part distinctly chitinised; G1 subterminal segment tapering gradually from broad base, distal part not prominently narrow; G1 terminal and subterminal segments not clearly demarcated; without visible suture or any feature separating segments in ventral view; barely visible area between segments slightly less chitinised; terminal segment subcylindrical, gradually tapering to sharp tip, bent at angle of about 45–90° from longitudinal axis; G2 longer than G1; vulvae large with chitinised dorsal rim. Etymology. The name is derived from the name of the lake, Indawgyi, in arbitrary combination with the ending of “ Potamon ”. Gender neuter. Remarks. The general carapace features of Indawmon, new genus, are typical of many potamid genera and have few diagnostic features. In Myanmar, the carapace shape, surface features, structure of the epigastric and postorbital cristae, and armature anterolateral margin of Indawmon resemble those of genera like Indochinamon Yeo & Ng, 2007, and Shanphusa Yeo & Ng, 2007. Their G1 structures, however, differ markedly. One of the diagnostic features of Indawmon is that the terminal and subterminal segments are not well demarcated. In almost all potamiscines (and many potamines), the terminal and subterminal segments are distinctly separated by a suture, clearly visible in ventral view and indicated by sutures or less chitinised sections in dorsal view (see Yeo & Ng, 2007). In Indawmon, there is no clear suture separating the terminal and subterminal segments in ventral view (Fig. 6B, F). In dorsal view, there is an area between the two segments that appear to be less chitinised but this is only barely visible (Fig. 6C, G). The G1 of Indawmon superficially resembles that of Inlethelphusa Yeo & Ng, 2007, in that the terminal segment is elongate. Inlethelphusa is endemic to Lake Inle and adjacent areas (see Kemp, 1918; Yeo & Ng, 2007; Ng et al., 2020). Indawmon, however, differs from Inlethelphusa in having the anterolateral margin lined with low granules (Figs. 2, 3A–D) (versus anterolateral margin lined with many sharp teeth in Inlethelphusa; cf. Ng et al., 2020: fig. 6A, B); the G1 subterminal segment tapering gradually from the broad base, the distal part not being prominently narrow and not clearly demarcated from the subcylindrical terminal segment which ends in a sharp tip (Fig. 6A–C, E–G) (versus distal part of G1 subterminal segment narrows abruptly from broad base, narrow and clearly demarcated from cylindrical terminal segment which ends in a truncate tip in Inlethelphusa; cf. Ng et al., 2020: fig. 6D, E); and male thoracic sternites 3 and 4 being longitudinally elongate, with the sternopleonal cavity reaching only to an imaginary line connecting the proximal edge of the coxae of the chelipeds (Fig. 3E, G, H) (versus male thoracic sternites 3 and 4 proportionately longitudinally shorter with sternopleonal cavity reaching to imaginary line connecting middle part of coxae of chelipeds in Inlethelphusa; cf. Ng et al., 2020: fig. 6C). Also noteworthy is that the press-button tubercle in Indawmon is unusual in that it is laterally flattened, while in most potamiscines, it is rounded or peg-like (e.g., in Inlethelphusa, Ng et al., 2020: fig. 4J). Compared to Inlethelphusa, the vulva of Indawmon is directed obliquely and anteriorly with a distinct posterior rim (Fig. 5D) (versus vulva directed more laterally with a large lateral rim; cf. Ng et al., 2020: fig. 7B). The genetic data also supports their separation (see Discussion below).Published as part of Ng, Peter K.

Researcher-teacher collaboration in Māori-medium education: Aspects of learning for a teacher and researchers in Aotearoa New Zealand when teaching mathematics
No full textThis paper describes aspects of learning for a teacher in a Māori-medium Year 7–8 classroom and two mathematics education researchers from a university when they collaborated on a project supporting children to develop their ideas about transformation geometry. Key principles of kaupapa Māori (Māori ideology) methodology such as ako (reciprocal learning), manākitanga (showing care, respect and kindness) and whanaungatanga (family-like relationships) were integral to the initiation and facilitation of the research. Data presented is qualitative and derived largely from wānanga ā-kanohi (face-to-face discussion) between the participants. Results revealed that the collaborative partnership was conducive to developing insights into the complexities of learning mathematics in an indigenous setting. Issues of collegiality, learning mathematics in a second language, teacher mathematical knowledge and appropriate contexts for learning mathematics are analysed and discussed
Si Kenkoy Bilang Kuwelang Ingles sa Komiks: Isang Pagdalumat sa Karabaw English Bilang Instrumento ng Pagsulong ng Makabayang Diwa sa Panahon ng Kolonyalismong Amerikano; 1929-1934
No full textAbstrakAng tinaguriang “Carabao English” ay inilalarawan bilang isang katawa-tawa at hindi kanais-nais na paraan ng komunikasyon. Kinikilala ito bilang paaran ng pilit na paglakip sa dayuhang wika kung saan nagkaroon ng korupsiyon (sariling maka-Pilipinong pagbabaybay) ang wikang Ingles dahil sa naging paghahalo nito sa wikang Filipino. Tatangkain ng papel na ito na matunton ang naging paggamit sa “Carabao English” na mababakas sa mga diyalogo na inilarawan ni Tony Velasquez sa kaniyang likhang-sining na Kenkoy Komiks. Si Kenkoy ang kumatawan sa ‘kuwelang Ingles’ na sa unang pagtingin ay katawa-tawa ngunit kung bibigyan ng malalim na pagsusuri ay nagpapahiwatig ng mga makabayang aral at mga tunggalian sa isang kolonyal na lipunan. Ang layunin ng pag-aaral ay mabigyan ng masusing pagtalakay at masuri ang mga simbolismong pumapaloob sa Kenkoy Komiks na makikita sa ilustrasyon at mga linya nito. Bukod pa rito, layunin ding mabigyang-linaw at maisakonteksto ang nilalaman ng sining ng pagguhit at wikang “Carabao English” sa ilalim ng pamamahala ng Estados Unidos sa Pilipinas at ang papel at paggamit ng nasabing wika sa layunin ng may-akda upang maisulong ang kaniyang mithiing pagkabansa. Matutunghayan mula sa pag-aaral ang pagtugon at ang pakikipagtunggali ng lipunang Pilipino sa panahon ng mga kultural na pagbabago sa dagok ng kolonisasyon mula sa komiks. Iminumungkahi ng pag-aaral na nagkaroon ng proseso ng akulturasyon sa wika kung saan sinasalamin nito ang pag-angkin ng lipunang Pilipino sa mga dayuhang elemento, ngunit nagkaroon ng pagtatakip upang maipagpatuloy ang diwang makabayan sa kabila ng kaayusang kolonyal na pinatatakbo ng Estados Unidos sa bansa. Mga Susing Salita: komiks, Carabao English, Kenkoy, patriotismo, wika Kenkoy’s Humourous English in Comics: An Analysis on the use of “Carabao English” as an Instrument of Advancing Patriotism under the American Colonial Period; 1929 – 1934 Abstract“Carabao English” is portrayed as a farcical and an unfavorable means of communication. It was known to caused by an enforced adherence to the use of a foreign language wherein it formed a ‘corrupted version’ (based on the Philippine enumeration) of the English language due to its contact and mixing with the Filipino language. This paper aims to trace the usage of “Carabao English” based on the dialogues in Tony Velasquez’ Kenkoy Komiks. The main character, Kenkoy, embodies the use of “Humourous English” which at first glance may seem laughable however under thorough analysis implies patriotic values and underscores the struggles of Filipinos under a colonial society. The purpose of this study is to highlight and contextualize the use of “Carabao English” under the American colonial period in the Philippines and its use by the author in order to achieve nationhood. The dynamics of response and conflict within the Filipino society under a period of cultural change brought about by a new colonial era based on the comics, can be seen from the study. The study proposes that language underwent a process of acculturation where it reflects a gradual acceptance of foreign cultural elements within the Filipino society but nevertheless, became instrumental in promoting patriotism by serving as an alternative expression of continued resistance to American colonial rule.Keywords: comics, Carabao English, Kenkoy, patriotism, languag

Ankerius Ng, Rahayu & Shih, 2016, gen. nov.
No full textAnkerius gen. nov. Type species. Ankerius aenigmaticus gen. et sp. nov., by present designation. Etymology. Named after fellow carcinologist Arthur Anker, who collected the specimen. Gender masculine. Diagnosis. Carapace as long as wide, deeply vaulted, dome shaped, dorsal surface smooth, region indistinct. Front entire, triangular in frontal view, slightly deflexed medially, anterolateral margin arcuate, entire, finely cristate, pubescent; anterolateral margin separated from gently converging posterolateral margin. Orbital margin entire, unarmed; eyes stout, mobile. Antennule folding obliquely, filling fossa; antenna not excluded from orbit, basal segment stout. Epistome wide, medially triangular, bifurcated apex. Third maxilliped relatively slender, covering about 50% of buccal cavity; ischium approximately as long as merus; merus subquadrate, anterolateral angle rounded; exopod relatively narrow, with long flagellum. Outer surface of palm with rows of strong, sharp spines, obscured by long, plumose setae. Merus, propodus of ambulatory legs relatively long; dactylus elongated, distinctly longer than greatest height; posterior margin of merus with row of strong, sharp spines; propodus with row of spines on distal margin bracketing dactylus; dactylus with bifurcate claw, movable spines on flexor margin. Female abdomen broad, 6 free somites, telson; somites separated by deep, relatively broad suture. Vulva rounded, positioned near suture between sternites 4, 5. Remarks. Ankerius gen. nov. has several atypical characters for Aphanodactylidae. One of the diagnostic features of the family is the possession of a short ambulatory dactylus (e.g., see Ahyong & Ng 2009: fig. 1E). This character, together with the normal third maxilliped structure (without an enlarged and/or modified palp), easily distinguishes aphanodactylids from all other pinnotheroids (Ahyong & Ng 2009). The ambulatory dactylus is proportionately longer (Figs. 1, 2 A, 4) in Ankerius gen. nov. than in other aphanodactylids, about 1.5 to twice the length of those seen in other genera. It is nevertheless still shorter than the condition in most pinnotheroids. Most aphanodactylids (with the exception of Gandoa, cf. Ng & Rahayu 2016) also have several short spines on the distal edge of the ambulatory propodus, bracketing the short dactylus; this character is present in Ankerius gen. nov. (Fig. 4 I, J). Considering the very wide diversity in carapace, however, the morphologies of the cheliped and ambulatory leg of known aphanodactylids (cf. Ahyong & Ng 2009; Naruse & Maenosono 2012; Ng & Rahayu 2016), Ankerius gen. nov. is readily accommodated in this family. The wide gap between the third maxillipeds of Ankerius gen. nov. is distinctive. In most species of aphanodactylids (notably Selwynia Borradaile, 1903, Uruma Naruse, Fujita & Ng, 2009, and Takedactylus Naruse & Maenosono, 2012), the third maxillipeds cover about 80% of the buccal cavity, leaving just a narrow gap between them (Fig. 5 A). The space between the third maxillipeds is slightly wider in Gustavus Ahyong & Ng, 2009 (Fig. 5 C). In Gandoa, the third maxillipeds are positioned further apart, leaving about half the buccal cavity exposed (Fig. 5 B). The condition in Ankerius gen. nov. is generally similar to that of Gandoa except that the relatively more slender ischium of the third maxilliped has the inner margin distinctly sloped (Figs. 3 D, 5D) whereas that of Gandoa is rounded (Fig. 5 B). The shape of the third maxillipeds of Ankerius gen. nov. and the prominent gap between them is similar to the condition seen in members of Grapsidae MacLeay, 1838, Gecarcinucidae MacLeay, 1838, and Sesarmidae Dana, 1851; members of which have a rhomboidal gap between the third maxillipeds even when closed. None of these taxa, however, have the third maxillipeds positioned as far apart as in Ankerius gen. nov.. In any case, the form of the carapaces, orbits, mouthparts, ambulatory legs and many other features of Grapsidae, Gecarcinucidae, and Sesarmidae are very different from Ankerius gen. nov.. With regards to the other thoracotreme families, members of Varunidae H. Milne Edwards, 1853, Macrophthalmidae Dana, 1851, and Xenograpsidae N.K. Ng, Davie, Schubart & Ng, 2007, have mouthparts superficially similar to those of Ankerius gen. nov., but they do not have distinctly gaping third maxillipeds, and their carapace, chelipeds, and ambulatory legs are very different. In any case, none of the above families have members that are known to be symbiotic with polychaete worms. Ankerius gen. nov. superficially resembles the pinnotherid Tetrias Rathbun, 1898 (with two species: T. scabripes Rathbun, 1898; and T. fischerii (A. Milne-Edwards, 1867)) (at present their position in the Pinnotheridae is uncertain; Palacios-Theil et al. 2016). This is particularly with regard to the general carapace shape, and the spiny chelae and ambulatory legs (cf. A. Milne-Edwards 1873: pl. 18 fig. 3, 3a; Rathbun 1918: text-fig. 114a, c, pl. 39 figs. 4, 5; Tesch 1918: pl. 18 fig. 1, 1b). Ankerius gen. nov., however, has a quadrate and smooth carapace (Figs. 1, 2 A) (transversely rectangular and distinctly granular in Tetrias, cf. A. Milne-Edwards 1873: pl. 18 fig. 3; Rathbun 1918: text-fig. 114c, pl. 39 figs. 4; Tesch 1918: pl. 18 fig. 1), and the ambulatory legs are relatively more slender and longer (Figs. 1, 2 A, 4) (distinctly shorter and stouter in Tetrias, cf. A. Milne-Edwards 1873: pl. 18 fig. 3; Rathbun 1918: text-fig. 114c, pl. 39 figs. 4, 5; Tesch 1918: pl. 18 fig. 1, 1b). While the ambulatory dactylus of Tetrias of P2–P4 is relatively short, it is still longer than that of Ankerius gen. nov. More importantly, the ambulatory dactyli of P2–P5 of all aphanodactylids (including Ankerius gen. nov.) are all subqual in length. The ambulatory dactyli of P2–P4 are proportionately longer in Tetrias, and only that of P5 is short and comparable in length to that of aphanodactylids (unpublished data). The most important difference between Tetrias and Ankerius gen. nov. (and all aphanodactylids) is that the third maxilliped in Tetrias is typically “pinnotherid”-like, with the ischium and merus reduced in size, the palp (carpus, propodus, and dactylus) very large, and the dactylus prominent (cf. Tesch 1918: pl. 18, fig. 1a; Rathbun 1918: text-fig. 114b; Campos 2006: fig. 2E, F)). This contrasts with the typical third maxilliped structure in aphanodactylids in which the ischium and merus are relatively large and the palp reduced (e.g., Fig. 5 D). Tetrias species have been known to be associated with clams and polychaete worms although they have also been found free-living (see Tesch 1918: 271). The genus is now being revised by T. Naruse and colleagues (see Naruse et al. 2011). In their recent molecular reappraisal of Pinnotheroidea, Palacios-Theil et al. (2016) showed that Tetrias was phylogenetically separated from the main Pinnotheridae, and they suggested it might be related to Aphanodactylidae. They also indicated Tetrias may be allied with Parapinnixa Holmes, 1895, and aphanodactylids. It is clear that to ascertain their phylogenetic relationships, a detailed genetic study of aphanodactylids will need to be done and compared with other thoracotremes in the future.Published as part of Ng, Peter K.

Diyutamon Huang, Shih & Ng, 2017, n. gen.
No full textDiyutamon n. gen. (Figs. 1 A, 2–7) Diagnosis. Carapace subtrapezoidal, dorsal surface gently convex, appearing almost flat in frontal view, smooth, regions barely indicated (Figs. 2 A, B, 3A, 7A); frontal margin not prominently protruding anteriorly; postorbital, epigastric cristae not distinct (Figs. 2 A, 3A, 7A); external orbital angle broadly triangular, almost confluent with anterolateral margin (Figs. 2 A, B, 3A–D, 7A); median lobe of posterior margin of epistome broadly triangular (Figs. 2 B, 3B, D); third maxilliped with relatively broad ischium, exopod reaches beyond anterior edge of ischium, with long flagellum (Fig. 5 D); pollex of male, female major chela with basal molariform tooth on cutting edge (Figs. 4 C, 7C); male thoracic sternite 8 exposed when abdomen closed (Figs. 2 C, 3E, F); male abdomen triangular, telson with almost straight lateral margins, rounded tip (Figs. 2 C, 3E); G1 generally slender, terminal segment slightly curved upwards, tapered (Figs. 5 A, C, 6A, B); basal segment of G2 subrectangular (Fig. 5 B). Etymology. The genus name is derived from the Chinese word Diyu, for hell, which alludes to the subterranean habitat of the type species. The suffix is derived from “ Potamon ”, the type genus of the family. Gender of genus neuter. Remarks. Although Diyutamon n. gen., is superficially similar to Chinapotamon and Tiwaripotamon, it can easily be distinguished in possessing almost undiscernible postorbital cristae, the external orbital angle is confluent with the anterolateral margin which is lined with small spines and sharp granules, the ambulatory legs are conspicuously long and slender, and most significantly, the edge of thoracic sternite 8 remains visible even when the abdomen is closed (Table 1). While the strongly reduced eyes, with short peduncles, and small corneas without pigmentation (Figs. 2 B, 3B, D), are very diagnostic features of the type species (not known for any species of Chinapotamon or Tiwaripotamon), these are probably highly derived characters associated with its stygobitic habits. As such, they are probably not phylogenetically significant (see Ng & Sket 1996; Klaus et al. 2013).Published as part of Huang, Chao, Shih, Hsi-Te & Ng, Peter K.
