Sam No‘eau Warner
Department of Hawaiian and Indo-Pacific Languages and Literatures

am No‘eau Warner is an assistant professor in the Department of Hawaiian and Indo-Pacific Languages and Literatures. Warner is a humanistic educator who makes significant contributions to Hawaiian education, particularly in the areas of language revitalization and immersion schooling. He is deeply committed to promoting the survival of Hawaiian through improving teaching of Hawaiian at the university and encouraging our finest students to become Hawaiian immersion teachers.

Warner’s work and research in the kula kaiapuni (immersion school) indicates that learning experiences are effective when learners are given the opportunity to figure out language and interpret meaning from meaningful contexts in which they actively participate. Ma ka hana ka ‘ike (knowledge is gained through doing) provides students with opportunities to communicate with each other through various language activities and collaborative experiences.

As a Hawaiian educator, Warner is a fine example of a positive role model.

The University of Hawai‘i at Manoa Chancellor’s Citation for Meritorious Teaching recognizes Manoa faculty members who have made significant contributions to teaching and student learning.
