French Without Borders, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

In French Without Borders , contributing authors tackle numerous compelling and imperative aspects of the practical/quotidienne nature of French in North American contexts, including French language education and pedagogy; law, public policy, and leadership; and immigration, tourism, and economics.

As the product of an interdisciplinary and transnational colloquium of scholars and researchers and their mutually supportive conversations, this book represents the interdependent nature of francophone studies and education. The social, economic, and cultural implications of this work are far reaching, in that they address broad consequences for public policy as well as highlight case studies of interest within specific regions of francophone North America, including the Caribbean. Furthermore, the specific francophone contexts in French Without Borders offer a degree of transferability due to the shared struggle for preserving, promoting, and sustaining French as a minority language.

This edited volume presents a distinct approach to la francophonie in North America, showcasing the voices of numerous stakeholders and their unique perspectives, insights, and knowledge within overlapping and adjacent fields.
