Abstract
This thesis reveals, through an intensive study of the educational system of French Polynesia, how the different languages which are used there are taught, the role they play in the educational system, and the effect they may have on the lives of the Polynesians both current and future. Of particular interest is the teaching of and through three languages: French, English and Tahitian. This thesis addresses the language problems that Polynesian children encounter in schools patterned after the French schools and proposes three educational programs for adapting the French system to the needs and interest of the children of French Polynesia.
