A Sociolinguistic and Ethnographic Approach to Albertan French and its Implications for French-as-a-First-Language Pedagogy.

Beniak, Edouard; And Others

Canadian Modern Language Review, v41 n2 p308-14 Nov 1984

A sociolinguistic approach and ethnographic information are essential to the development of successful French native language instruction in Alberta and other francophone minority settings in Canada. Teachers should develop an appreciation of the local French and the sociocultural context to enhance students' motivation to learn and maintain their native language. (MSE)
