A study undertaken to create a profile of 15- to 18-year-old students in minority French language schools in Ontario is reported. The first chapter describes the study's methodology, which included review of education ministry documents and other research, and interviews with students and educators. The second chapter summarizes research findings on the physical, intellectual, emotional, social, and moral development of adolescents and the formation of individual identity. Chapter 3 summarizes demographic characteristics of this minority francophone population, and chapter 4 analyzes the linguistic characteristics of the population, alone, and in comparison with other French Canadian groups. The subsequent four chapters present results concerning the cultural, academic, employment, social, and physical activities of this adolescent population and their aspirations. Chapter 9 reviews research on the situation of adolescents and minority francophone adolescents in Belgium, Switzerland, and France for comparison. In chapter 10, findings on the Ontario population are examined for generalizations and gender differences. Finally, in chapter 11, data derived from ministry of education documents are summarized. Appended materials include lists of organizations contacted and databases consulted, the questionnaires for students, teachers, and other educators, lists of education ministry documents analyzed, and respondent sampling data.
