  • Historical Significance As a Tool to Understand High School Students' Identity in A
    Historical Significance as a Tool to Understand High School Students' Identity in a Bilingual Setting by Véronique La Salle B.Ed. Université Laval, 2001 A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Education in the Graduate Academic Unit of Education Supervisor: Alan Sears, PhD, Faculty of Education Examining Board: Alan Sears, PhD, Faculty of Education, Chair Josée LeBouthillier, Faculty of Education Cindy Brown, Department of History This thesis is accepted by the Dean of Graduate Studies THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW BRUNSWICK October, 2018 ©Véronique La Salle, 2019 ABSTRACT This research aimed to better understand the implications of having a dual educational system on students’ sense of national identity. It was centred on questions like, do high school students’ identities influence their perception of what they consider historically significant? And, is there a discrepancy between high school students from Anglophone and Francophone districts when asking them to consider what is historically significant in Canadian past events? The historical thinking concept of significance was used to probe how students’ linguistic identities shaped their understanding of Canada’s past. Twenty-six high school students from the Francophone and Anglophone sectors were asked to draw, sketch or write what they considered the ten most important elements in Canadian history. Then, participants explained their thoughts during individual semi- structured interviews. The results were analyzed through Social Identity Theory and phenomenography. Although students’ identities influenced their ascription of historical significance, similarities rather than differences were more common between participants from the Francophone and Anglophone sectors. While students demonstrated an awareness of Indigenous issues in Canadian history, they shared a European centered narrative focused on the participation of Canada in both World Wars and the consequences of this for the country’s independence.

Author: Birgitta Brown Language: English Department: English Department, University of Gothenburg, Box 200, SE-405 30 Gothenburg Anglo-French relations have had a significant influence on the fiction created in Canada’s Maritime Provinces. The 18th century was a period of colonial wars. Contacts between the English and French in Canada were established and de- termined by the hostilities between the two colonizing nations, France and Great Britain. The hostilities passed on a sense of difference between the two nations through situations of othering. Contacts, however, always generate transcultural processes which transcend or mediate cultural difference. Othering and transculturation are closely interdependent phenomena acting in conjunc- tion. They work in processes manifesting themselves in so-called contact zones both during the colonial era and in a postcolonial context. This study investi- gates how processes of othering and transculturation are explored and dis- cussed in a number of Maritime novels, Anglophone and Acadian, published in different decades of the 20th century, in order to account for a broad perspec- tive of the interdependency of othering and transculturation.

Gross: French Language in the Americas Katelyn Gross 1 French Language in the Americas: Quebec, Acadia, and Louisiana Katelyn Gross The French language underwent many changes between the development of French from Latin, to Old French, and to Middle French. French would continue to develop inside of France thereafter, but the French language would also be exported to other parts of the world and those varieties of French would have their own characteristic changes. French explorers and colonizers moved into the Americas, permanently settling what is today Quebec, many parts of Canada, and Louisiana in the United States. In this paper, I will focus on the linguistic differences between metropolitan France and French spoken in Quebec, Acadia, and Louisiana.

  • The Acadians the Acadians, Their Culture and Their Influence on Mount Desert
    24 The Acadians The Acadians, Their Culture and Their Influence on Mount Desert Edited by Anne Mazlish* Origins of Acadia There are two theories regarding the origin of the name "Acadie" or "Acadia." One attributes it to the explorer Verrazano, who in 1524 named the coastline of the present-day Middle Atlantic states "Arcadie," in remembrance of a land of beauty and innocence celebrated in classical Greek poetry. The name "Arcadie" (with an "r") appears on various sixteenth-century maps of the east coast of North America and has been accepted by many historians as being the origin of the name "Acadie." The romantic associations of the term "Arcadie" likely explain why this theory has been widely published and is even found in recent scholarly works.1 The more plausible theory is that "Acadie" derives from a Micmac word rendered in French as "cadie," meaning a piece of land, generally with a favorable connotation.2 The word "-cadie" is found in many present-day place names such as Tracadie and Shubenacadie in the Canadian Mari times and Passamaquoddy, an English corruption of Passamacadie. Virtually all French references to Acadia from the time of the first significant contacts with the Micmacs use the form without the "r," "Acadie." The cartographic use of "Arcadie" for various parts of the east of eastern North America may have prepared the way for the acceptance of "cadie" from its Micmac source.3 Maine Acadian identity has evolved over several hundred years in response to changing political, economic, and social circumstances. While some aspects of their heritage are shared with other Acadian groups in North America, Maine Acadians maintain a distinctive ethnic culture of their own.

  • RESEARCH NOTE a New Acadia: the Acadian Migrations to South
    RESEARCH NOTE A New Acadia: The Acadian Migrations to South Louisiana, 1764-1803 THE ACADIAN EXPULSION FROM NOVA SCOTIA has been the subject of intense scrutiny by both popular and scholarly writers, particularly since the publication of Longfellow's Evangeline in 1847. The subsequent wanderings of the exiled Acadians and the eventual settlement of many of them in Louisiana remained until recently a relatively neglected chapter in North American history.1 Indeed, with the exception of superficial and often inaccurate accounts of the Acadian migration in general histories of the Acadians, no comprehensive view of the Acadian migration to Louisiana has existed until quite recently.2 Through the use of major archival collections built by the Center for Louisi­ ana Studies and other Gulf Coast repositories, Acadian scholars in Louisiana and elsewhere have patiently pieced together the story of Acadian immigration and settlement in the 18th-century Mississippi Valley.3 What has emerged is the picture of a migration orchestrated in no small part by the Acadians themselves. This image constitutes a radical departure from the traditional views of the Acadian influx, which tended to regard this migration either as a fortuitous happenstance or as the spontaneous migration of independent groups of exiles to what they considered to be France's last outpost on the North American con­ tinent.4 This view of the Acadian influx, however, merely belied the one-dimen- 1 See, however, Robert LeBlanc, "The Acadian Migrations", Proceedings of the Minnesota Academy of Science, XXX (1962), pp. 55-9; Naomi Griffiths, "Acadians in Exile: The Experi­ ences of the Acadians in the British Seaports", Acadiensis, IV, 1 (Autumn 1974), pp.

  • Michif and Other Languages of the Canadian Métis - Peter Bakker & Robert A
    Michif and other languages of the Canadian Métis - Peter Bakker & Robert A. Papen. University of Amsterdam & Université du Québec à Montréal Introduction: the Métis The word 'Métis' is the French word for “mestizo”, a person of mixed Amerindian and European descent. It is used in Canada with two different meanings. On the one hand, it is used for any person of partly Amerindian and partly European descent. These people are as varied as the possible combinations of Europeans and Natives. Although in a sense they do form a political group, they are not a uniform group from a cultural point of view. On the other hand, the word 'Métis' is used for a specific group, limited to people of French and Ojibwe/Cree ancestry in the Canadian Prairie Provinces, a group of “mestizos” who came about as a distinctive group due to the fur trade. Ojibwe and Cree are Amerindian languages of the Algonquian family. French speaking fur traders from New France (now Eastern Canada), called “voyageurs” or “coureurs du bois” who stayed in the west from the late 18th century married Amerindian women and had families with them. This happened to such an extent, that they were by far the biggest group in Manitoba in 1870 and they considered themselves a separate group at least from the 1810s, with the self-designation “Métis” or in their own dialect “Mitif” [mI_If]. Here we will discuss only the languages of the second (but chronologically first) group of Métis, the Red River Métis. They used to live or gather regularly around the forks of the Red and Assiniboine rivers at present-day Winnipeg from around 1800.

  • French from Canada Versus French from France?
    CJAL * RCLA Wernicke 1 Hierarchies of Authenticity in Study Abroad: French From Canada Versus French From France? Meike Wernicke University of British Columbia Abstract For many decades, Francophone regions in Canada have provided language study exchanges for French as a second language (FSL) learners within their own country. At the same time, FSL students and teachers in Canada continue to orient to a native speaker standard associated with European French. This Eurocentric orientation manifested itself in a recent study examining conceptions of authentic language among Canadian FSL teachers on professional study abroad in France. Taking an interactional perspective (De Fina & Georgakopoulou, 2012), this article examines how the teachers negotiated discourses of language subordination (Lippi-Green, 1997) that construct Canadian French as less authentic than French from France. Findings show some teachers drawing on this hierarchization of French to “authenticate” (Coupland, 2010) an identity as French language expert, either by contrasting European and Canadian varieties of French or by projecting France as the locus of French language and culture as exclusively representative of authentic “Frenchness.” Résumé Depuis des décennies, les régions francophones au Canada ont offert aux apprenants de français langue seconde (FLS) des programmes d’échange linguistique dans leur propre pays.

Cette orientation eurocentrique a été relevée récemment dans une enquête examinant la notion d’authenticité linguistique auprès d’un groupe d’enseignants de FLS à la suite d’un stage de formation en France.
