New-Zealand

The use of NZSL(New Zealand Sign Language) as a valid medium of instruction has not always been accepted by the Government, the Association of Teachers of the Deaf, or many parents. However, in light of much research into its validity as a language and much advocacy by deaf adults, parents of deaf children (both hearing and deaf) and educationalists, NZSL has since become -- in tandem with English -- part of the bilingual/bicultural approach used in public schools (including Kelston Deaf Education Centre and Van Asch Deaf Education Centre) since 1994. Victoria University of Wellington has courses in New Zealand Sign Language, although it has yet to develop a major program for it. AUT teaches a diploma course for NZSL interpreting.The two official spoken languages are also the most widely used; English is spoken by 98% of the population and Mori by 4.1%.Samoan is the most widely spoken non-official language (2.3%) followed by French, Hindi, Yue and Northern Chinese.New
