{"title":"Défis et évolution de l'accompagnement offert aux professeurs de langue par le Régime d'immersion en français (RIF) de l'Université d'Ottawa","authors":"L. Thibault, Marc Gobeil","doi":"10.18192/OLBIWP.V9I0.2207","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.18192/OLBIWP.V9I0.2207","url":null,"abstract":"Depuis 2006, le RIF offre des cours d’encadrement linguistique (CEL) associés à des cours de discipline enseignés dans cinq facultés de l’université (soit 86 programmes en 2016-2017). Cependant, les professeurs de FLS sont très rarement formés à l’enseignement  propre à ce type de cours qui sont développés sur mesure en lien avec chaque cours de discipline. Pour répondre à ce défi, le RIF offre, par l’entremise des responsables pédagogiques, un accompagnement dont la nature et le format ont évolué au fil des ans.D’abord, les professeurs ont reçu une formation initiale (création de ressources, réunions, ateliers, observations de classes suivies de recommandation) (Weinberg, A., et S. Burger, 2006). Puis, les responsables pédagogiques ont créé deux recueils rassemblant des activités conçues par les professeurs désormais expérimentés (Dansereau et Buchanan, 2009, 2011; Dansereau, 2011). Ces recueils sont devenus des incontournables pour les nouvelles recrues et ont contribué au développement d'une communauté de pratique. Aujourd'hui, l'accompagnement se caractérise par des consultations, des rencontres de partage de pratique et la vérification du respect des objectifs pédagogiques dans les plans de cours.Dans quelle mesure l’accompagnement reçu jusqu’à présent répond-il aux besoins des professeurs? Quels sont leurs nouveaux besoins ? Dans quelle direction et sous quelle forme l’accompagnement peut-il évoluer de façon à maximiser et reconnaître les savoir-faire développés par cette communauté de pratique afin qu’elle profite au plus grand nombre? Grâce aux résultats d’un sondage envoyé en janvier 2017 à tous les professeurs ayant enseigné un CEL depuis 2006 nous pouvons identifier les forces et les faiblesses de l’accompagnement déjà offert et envisager la mise en place de nouvelles stratégies d’accompagnement.","PeriodicalId":324629,"journal":{"name":"OLBI Working Papers","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124152584","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The participants of this case study find themselves in a pivotal life moment as they are transitioning from the K-12 immersion education system to a bilingual post-secondary institution. During this transition, the study examines how Régime d'immersion en français students at the University of Ottawa position themselves and are positioned (Davies & Harré, 1990) towards Francophone language and culture. This study reports on the experiences of three first-year undergraduate students of the Régime d'immersion en français in regards to their linguistic identities. Do they consider themselves as Bilingual, Multilingual, Francophone, Francophile, Anglophone, or Other? Moreover, do their Francophone peers legitimize or challenge these self-ascribed positionings? The study exposes the factors which influenced the linguistic positioning of the participants and comments on patterns in the factors which affected their linguistic identity in particular. \u0000Résumé \u0000Un domaine de recherche important, mais encore relativement sous-étudié pour la recherche en immersion concerne la recherche sur l'immersion universitaire. Encore plus, il y a peu de recherche qui étudie les expériences de ces étudiants en immersion universitaire. Les participants de cette étude de cas se retrouvent dans une période turbulente de leur vie, alors qu'ils passent du système d'enseignement en immersion de la maternelle à la 12e année à un établissement d'enseignement postsecondaire bilingue. Durant cette transition, l'étude examine comment les étudiants du Régime d'immersion en français de l'Université d'Ottawa se positionnent et sont positionnés (Davies et Harré, 1990) vers la langue et la culture francophones. Cette étude met le point de mire sur les expériences d'apprentissage de trois étudiantes de première année du premier cycle du Régime d'immersion en français avec accent particulier sur leur identité linguistique. Se considèrent-elles comme bilingues, multilingues, francophones, francophiles, anglophones ou autres? De plus, leurs pairs francophones légitiment-ils ou contestent-ils ces positionnements autoproclamés? L'étude expose les facteurs qui ont influencé le positionnement linguistique des participantes et explore ces facteurs qui ont particulièrement influencé leurs identités linguistiques.","PeriodicalId":324629,"journal":{"name":"OLBI Working Papers","volume":"121 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115823871","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Lessons learned from immersion in western Canada’s multilingual and multicultural post-secondary context across the disciplines","authors":"V. Spiliotopoulos","doi":"10.18192/OLBIWP.V9I0.2340","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.18192/OLBIWP.V9I0.2340","url":null,"abstract":"The current educational context in post-secondary institutions world-wide is characterized by a widening participation agenda, and is greatly impacted by trends in globalization and internationalization (Burbules & Torres, 2000, Ilieva, Beck, & Waterstone, 2014).  This multilingual and multicultural educational context brings about many opportunities and challenges for students, faculty, and other internal and external stakeholders (Arkoudis et al, 2012; Hafernick & Wiant, 2012; Murray, 2016). Given Canada’s increasing involvement in offering programs predominantly in English to international, transnational, and bi/plurlilingal domestic students, it is important to examine the lessons learned from Canada’s history with immersion (Cummins, 1998).   and consider the implications for the post-secondary context (Knoerr, et al. 2016). To that end, it is perhaps time to reconsider language education policies, re-examine how language is used as a medium of instruction, redesign curriculum and instruction, as well as understand how students’ bi/plurlingualism can serve as an additional resource for learning across the disciplines (Camarata, 2016; Coste, Moore & Zarate, 2009;  Cummins, 2007; Marshall and Moore, 2013). \u0000  \u0000This article describes the educational development and scholarly activities of a Centre for English Language Learning Teaching, and Research at a comprehensive university in British Columbia, and shares emergent findings of a case study and pilot projects in which faculty in applied linguistics/language education collaborate with faculty across the disciplines to support students’ English language development alongside their disciplinary knowledge and literacy skills at the curricular, instructional, and assessment levels. Key practices and approaches in university French immersion education will be compared and contrasted with Content-based/‘CLIL’ and plurilingual approaches used by language education faculty working alongside disciplinary faculty in order to support students at the curricular core within programs where English is the language of instruction. ","PeriodicalId":324629,"journal":{"name":"OLBI Working Papers","volume":"848 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116424695","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
