Abstract
Brief excerpt from interview: [If the course were taught in Samoan] I think I might do a more performance approach, playing on the fact that Samoan students love to perform... For the last thirty years, the law was that English was the language of instruction, with Samoan as the language to clarify, so these students have been fed a diet of English only. Other problems have led students to believe that Samoan is not an academic language, which is not true at all, because we have writers who are writing in Samoan. So the Samoan program at UH has a role to play in shifting that mentality.
