| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study adopts an interactional approach to language revitalization, focusing on Ka Leo Hawai‘i (KLH), a Hawaiian language radio program established in the 1970s. KLH consists of two periods: the first period (1970-80s) and the second period (1990s). During each period, around 400 one-hour shows were produced, most of which have been digitized and serve as valuable cultural and educational resources for the Hawaiian language revitalization movement. However, the second period has received relatively less attention, partly due to the limited availability of elders who could participate as guests on the program. The present study aims to shed more light on the second period of KLH by conducting an analysis of interaction in L2 Hawaiian.
