Teaching and Learning Second Language Listening
This reader-friendly text, firmly grounded in listening theories and supported by recent research findings, offers a comprehensive treatment of concepts and knowledge related to teaching second language (L2) listening, with a particular emphasis on metacognition. The metacognitive approach, aimed at developing learner listening in a holistic manner, is unique and groundbreaking. The book is focused on the language learner throughout; all theoretical perspectives, research insights, and pedagogical principles in the book are presented and discussed in relation to the learner. The pedagogical model─a combination of the tried-and-tested sequence of listening lessons and activities that show learners how to activate processes of skilled listeners ─ provides teachers with a sound framework for students’ L2 listening development to take place inside and outside the classroom. The text includes many practical ideas for listening tasks that have been used successfully in various language learning contexts.
Studies in French Applied Linguistics
Studies in French Applied Linguistics invites the reader to adopt a broad perspective on applied linguistics, illustrating the fascinating multifaceted work researchers are conducted in so many various, inter-connected subfields. The five chapters of the first part are dedicated to the first and second language acquisition of French in various settings: First language acquisition by normal children from a generative perspective and by children with Specific Language Impairment; second language acquisition in Canadian immersion settings, from a neurolinguistic approach to phonology and natural language processing and CALL. The six chapters of the second part explore the contribution of French in various subfields of applied linguistics such as an anthropological approach to literacy issues in Guadeloupean Kréyòl, literacy issues in new technologies, phonological and lexical innovations in the banlieues, French in North Africa, language planning and policy in Quebec, as well as the emerging field of forensic linguistics from an historical perspective.
L’immersion française à l'université
L’immersion française est née dans les années 1960 dans une école primaire en banlieue de Montréal afin de répondre aux besoins des enfants anglophones appelés à vivre dans le nouveau contexte francophone du Québec. Si elle s’est rapidement répandue dans les établissements primaires et secondaires à travers le Canada, en revanche elle est aujourd’hui encore pratiquement inexistante au niveau universitaire. Graham Fraser, le Commissaire aux langues officielles, porte-parole fédéral de la promotion et de la protection des droits linguistiques, a maintes fois recommandé d’étendre l’offre en immersion au niveau postsecondaire. Le présent ouvrage fait écho à cette rec...
Populisme et sciences sociales
Le populisme n’a jamais été aussi populaire en tant que concept, tant dans les débats académiques que publics. Il est une des réalités politiques, en particulier dans sa variété de droite, qui a suscité à la fois la plus grande surprise par son ampleur et le plus de questionnements sur sa nature depuis le Brexit et l’élection présidentielle de Donald Trump en 2016. Au Canada, l’actualité politique depuis la COVID-19 semble donner raison à la thèse voulant que ce pays ne soit pas une exception à la vague populiste globale. Dans ce nouveau contexte politique, il devient crucial d’approfondir notre compréhension du populisme à l'aide des outils analytiques des sciences sociales, ce que propose ce volume édité. Populisme et sciences sociales offre des contributions théoriques, empiriques et multidisciplinaires à l’étude de l'un des phénomènes les plus marquants du XXIe siècle.
La ville inclusive
La ville inclusive : dans les pas de Caroline Andrew is a festschrift in honour of this researcher's exceptional contributions, which follow a common thread—the inclusive city. Her interests extended from population studies to politics, with an emphasis on municipal governance, particularly through her interest in the influence of various “equity-seeking groups,” an expression she coined. In this volume, specialists in urban studies offer their own opinions on contemporary urbanity in the wake of her trailblazing research. It includes thorough analyses of inclusion policy issues Canadian cities face daily, unpublished case studies, and useful observations and proposals for decision making at the city level. La ville inclusive is one of those rare French-language books that tackles the issue of inclusion. It acts as a multidisciplinary meeting place in which to discuss the over-riding challenge of togetherness in a world that is increasingly urbanized and fragmented.
Haïti
Are the priorities of sustainable strategies aligned with the local realities and needs of Haitian society? Are local actors involved in the economic development process? What role does the local community play in collective decision making? Do the ruling class and policy makers have the will to make local development and decentralization an effective reality in Haiti? The foundations of these concepts assume that community, actors, citizens, and authorities should be included in the decision-making process. Aimed to leading to the development of sustainable policies, however, local development planning is difficult to institutionalize. Lovinski’s analysis is based on a multifaceted interpretation of development and takes an institutional approach to public policy. Thereby, prompting an interrogation of sustainable policies prioritized by policy makers. This investigation examines the steps taken to achieve sustainable policies and shows the results and considering the dynamics and their ambiguities.
