Download or read book French in Canada written by Maeve Conrick and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2007 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyses comprehensively the complex linguistic situation in Canada focusing particularly on the position of the French language at both national and provincial levels. Language issues in Canada are of great interest to linguists and sociolinguists for many reasons, not least because of Canada's policy of official bilingualism (Official Languages Act, 1969). The authors address a wide range of topics of interest to undergraduate and postgraduate students of French and Linguistics as well as readers with a specialist interest in Canadian or Quebec Studies. Individual chapters discuss the historical background to the presence of French in Canada, language policy and planning at federal and provincial levels, the changing linguistic landscape of Canada in the twenty-first century, the multilingual community, language contact, code-switching, immersion education and the language of the L2 speaker, the dynamics of French in Canada, language variation and change. The status of French in Canada is of relevance to all researchers with an interest in multilingualism, a crucial issue in this era of globalisation. The authors bring their expertise as linguists to bear on a subject which is of considerable importance internationally as well as within Canada.

Download or read book How to Learn French in Canada written by Victor E Graham and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 1965-12-15 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is well known that even after several years' exposure to high-school French, most English Canadians remain unable to speak the language. It is equally well known that many French Canadians are bilingual. One of the more obvious explanations for this relative deficiency on the part of the English Canadian is his lack of opportunities to use the French language in day-to-day situations, and, conversely, the French Canadian's need to know the second language, too often perhaps for economic reasons. Professor Graham's book gives useful and practical suggestions on how to go about becoming fluent in French. It offers not a course of instruction, but a listing of practical ways of applying oneself to a study of the language. There is specific, up-to-date information and advice regarding services provided by the governments of Quebec and France, courses offered in various Canadian communities, clubs and societies, correspondence courses, universities and summer schools, and language laboratories. A feature which will be especially helpful for those in remote areas is the listing of publications (books, newspapers, and periodicals), music and songs, records, films, and radio and television programmes which provide instruction in French. The reader will quickly see that the available means are much more varied than he realizes, and it is in providing this concise, convenient enumeration of them that Professor Graham performs a great service. Any adult who is reasonably proficient in French, but wishes to improve, will find this a practical and useful guide to ways of making a personal contribution to bilingualism in Canada. This study has been prepared under the sponsorship of the Canadian Association for Adult Education.

Download or read book The French Presence in Ontario written by and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 1 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The French presence in Ontario officially dates back to 1615 with the arrival of Samuel de Champlain. The Francophone population grew steadily in the 19th and early 20th centuries, mostly in eastern and north-eastern Ontario as a result of the forestry, mining and railway industries. The Association canadienne-française d'Éducation de l'Ontario (now called the Assemblée de la francophonie de l'Ontario) was created in 1910 to lobby for French language education rights in the province. In 1913, the French newspaper Le Droit was founded. The Franco-Ontarian flag was adopted in 1975. TVOntario launched La Chaîne française in 1987, which became Télévision française de l'Ontario in 1995. The French Language Services Act was adopted in 1986, giving French legal status in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario and guaranteeing the public the right to receive government services in French. The Franco-Ontarian community has continued to flourish in the 21st century. For example, it rallied to save Monfort Hospital from closure in 2002. The Office of the French Language Services Commissioner was created in 2007, and in 2015, Franco-Ontarians proudly celebrated 400 years of history"--History, p. [1].

Download or read book Language in Canada written by John Edwards and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1998-07-09 with total page 521 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Language in Canada provides an up-to-date account of the linguistic and cultural situation in Canada, primarily from a sociolinguistic perspective. The strong central theme connecting language with group and identity will offer insights into the current linguistic and cultural tension in Canada. The book provides comprehensive accounts of the original 'charter' languages, French and English, as well as the aboriginal and immigrant varieties which now contribute to the overall picture. It explains how they came into contact - and sometimes into conflict - and looks at the many ways in which they weave themselves through and around the Canadian social fabric. The public policy issues, particularly official bilingualism and educational policy and language, are also given extensive coverage. Non-specialists as well as linguists will find in this volume, a companion to Language in Australia, Language in the USA and Language in the British Isles, an indispensable guide and reference to the linguistic heritage of Canada.
