Description

The project aims to support hawaiian language growth by developing specialized learning modules and support tools. Over 36 months, the project will create bilingual hawaiian-english braille books, establish a multi-sensory trail with interpretive signage, and provide language instruction using tactile and audio methods. The project will serve 130 participants through various programs including 40 on-site language learning sessions designed to build foundational skills. Participants will develop a vocabulary of 400 words related to everyday places and spaces, learn common phrases, and gain understanding of both spoken and written hawaiian. The project partners with the hawaii state library for the blind and print disabled to develop and distribute hawaiian language resources. By the end of the grant period, participants will demonstrate proficiency in basic language skills and cultural knowledge, including the ability to identify native plants and cultural practices. This initiative addresses the current lack of available hawaiian language materials while supporting language preservation and cultural connection through innovative, multi-sensory teaching methods.
