Gagana Samoa: A Samoan Language Coursebook Summary:By Galumalemana Afeleti Hunkin
"Gagana Samoa" is a modern Samoan language resource. Designed for both classroom and personal use, it features a methodical approach suitable for all ages; an emphasis on patterns of speech and communication through practice and examples; 10 practical dialogues covering everyday social situations; an introduction to the wider culture of fa'asamoa through photographs; more than 950 exercises to reinforce comprehension; a glossary of all Samoan words used in the coursebook; and oral skills supplemented by an optional CD. Introduction Gagana Sāmoa is a modern language resource for the learning and the teaching of the Samoan language. It is designed for both personal and classroom use. The book is aimed at Samoans born outside of Sāmoa in countries such as New Zealand, the United States of America, Australia, etc., who are searching for their cultural identity in an adopted land. It is also for anyone else who wants to learn Samoan. Language is the core of Samoan culture, and this resource hopefully will encourage and stimulate a better understanding of Samoan values through the study of language in all students. The addition of photographs presents a broader view of fa‘asāmoa (Samoan culture) not only as practised in Sāmoa, but also outside of Sāmoa in places like the USA (Hawai‘i) and New Zealand. Gagana Sāmoa is not a definitive grammar—it is however an introduction to basic structures and patterns used in spoken and written Samoan. Modern Samoan also continues to grow and expand in its written form. An international group (Fale‘ula o Fatua‘i‘upu) of Samoan scholars and community leaders has recognised and supported the use of the glottal stop (‘) and the macron (ā). These important marks are used throughout this book to help the student pronounce the words clearly and properly. Useful references are listed in the bibliography to help students further their understanding of the grammatical rules of Samoan.
