French Immersion Ideologies in Canada (Hardcover)

In French Immersion Ideologies in Canada , Sylvie Roy gives voices to people on their experiences related to French immersion programs in Alberta, Canada. Using a sociolinguistics for change approach, she interprets questions related to language ideologies. She examines reasons people learn French as an additional language and why some students are asked to learn English first. She also reflects on what it means to become or to be bilingual or multilingual in the global world. Roy discusses teachers and learners' linguistic and cultural practices and examines transculturality for the future. By questioning concepts taken from participants' discourses, this book explores an understanding of how power is reproduced, who is marginalized in the process, and what can be done to deconstruct ideologies about learning and teaching French in Canada and in the world. Roy demonstrates complex issues related to French and the consequences for learners, parents, teachers and administrators.
