Intensive English in Quebec: Popular Attitudes and News Media Debates Intensive English in Quebec: popular attitudes and news media debates by Mirian Olívia da Silva Perez Department of Integrated Studies in Education Faculty of Education, McGill University, Montreal April, 2013 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Arts © Mirian Olívia da Silva Perez, 2013 1 Abstract In the province of Quebec, Canada, linguistic issues are often covered by the French- language news media in a way that vilifies the English language and victimizes the French language. This author considers it necessary that the French-speaking population understand that English instruction need not harm students’ school performance in any subject, including French. Individuals need to have access to accurate and diversified information about research on second language instruction. The thesis research reported here investigated how three French-language newspapers in Quebec (Le Devoir and La Presse, from Montreal, and Le Soleil, from Quebec City) framed the debate about the Ministère de l’Éducation, Loisir et Sports’s (MELS) announcement of their intention to implement a mandatory intensive English program policy in all Quebec schools (Grade Six) between July 2010 and July 2012. The theoretical framework for this study was frame analysis (Entman, 1993; Goffman, 1974; Hallahan, 2008; McCombs, 2004; Pan, 2008; Scheufele, 2008).The study investigated how positive or gain frames contrast with negative or loss frames, with details of how the publications under study chose to position themselves on the issue. In total, 60 newspaper articles (news, editorials, op-eds and letters) containing the key words ‘anglais intensif’ [‘intensive English’] were studied. The findings show that all three newspapers, but especially Le Devoir and Le Soleil, were mainly against the policy and that most of the arguments were framed as losses or negative attributes of intensive English. The results also show that the extensive scholarly research on intensive English was not well represented in the newspapers. These three publications should therefore give more space for differing views about language issues in their reporting. Moreover, newspaper readers should also question themselves about the objectivity of the reporting. 2 Résumé Dans la province du Québec, au Canada, les problèmes linguistiques sont souvent abordés par les medias francophones dans une façon que diffame la langue anglaise et victimise la langue française. L’auteure du présent rapport considère qu’il serait important que la population francophone comprenne que le fait d’apprendre l’anglais, langue seconde, n’a pas forcément de conséquences sur la performance des étudiants dans d’autres matières, y compris le français. Les individus on besoin d’avoir accès à de l’information exacte et diversifiée en ce qui concerne les recherches en didactique et apprentissage des langues secondes. Ce mémoire de maîtrise a examiné comment, pendant la période entre juillet 2010 et juillet 2012, trois quotidiens francophones au Québec (Le Devoir et La Presse, de Montréal ainsi que Le Soleil, de la Ville de Québec) ont encadré le débat autour de l’annonce du Ministère de l’Éducation, Loisir et Sports (MELS) de son intention d’implanter un programme d’anglais intensif obligatoire en sixième année. Le cadre théorique de cette étude est la théorie de l’encadrement (‘frame analysis’) (Entman, 1993; Goffman, 1974; Hallahan, 2008; McCombs, 2004; Pan, 2008; Scheufele, 2008). Nous nous penchons sur la question de comment les cadres positifs, ou de gains, contrastent aux cadres négatifs, ou de pertes, ajoutant des précisions sur la façon dont les quotidiens étudiés ont choisi de se positionner par rapport au sujet. Un total de 60 articles (nouvelles, éditoriaux, ‘op-eds’ et lettres) contenant le mot de recherche ‘anglais intensif’ ont été étudié. Les résultats démontrent que les trois quotidiens, plus particulièrement Le Devoir et Le Soleil, étaient en grande partie contre la politique et que la plupart de leurs arguments ont été encadrés comme étant des pertes, ou des attributs négatifs, de l’anglais intensif. Les résultats démontrent aussi que les recherches académiques sur le sujet n’on pas été adéquatement représentées par les quotidiens. Nous concluons que ces trois quotidiens devraient donner plus d’espace aux différents points de vue sur le sujet. De plus, les lecteurs des journaux devraient se questionner d’avantage sur l’objectivité des reportages. 3 Acknowledgements I would like to thank my thesis supervisors Mela Sarkar and Becky Lentz.

    1 The Fall of the American Empire After the decline… the fall. We are all subjects of the American Empire. The moral rot of the Empire has started to infect us. Money’s omnipotence is but one of the symptoms. Will we find antibiotics powerful enough to fight the gangrene? - Denys Arcand Synopsis Pierre-Paul Daoust, 36, an intellectual with a PhD in philosophy is forced to work as a deliveryman to afford a decent living. One day, while delivering a parcel, he gets caught in a hold up gone terribly wrong: two dead and millions in money bags laying on the ground. Pierre-Paul is confronted with a dilemma leave empty handed, or take the money and run? This new Denys Arcand film takes a witty yet touching look at, as only Arcand knows how, the predominance of money in a society where all other values seem to have crumbled. 1 Denys Arcand Director & screenwriter An Academy Award winning director, Denys Arcand's films have won over 100 prestigious awards around the world.

  • Ice Hockey and Québécois Nationalism
    Central European Journal of Canadian Studies Revue d’Etudes Canadiennes en Europe Centrale volume 10/11 (2016) | (11–29) Playing for the “Bleu et Blanc” or for the Habs: Ice Hockey and Québécois Nationalism Jouer pour le « Bleu et Blanc » ou pour les Habs: Hockey et le nationalisme québécois articles — Glen M. E. Duerr articles Abstract In 2005, former Bloc Québécois (BQ) leader Gilles Duceppe called for the creation of inde- pendent ice hockey and soccer teams for Quebec. As the federal representative for the sov- ereigntist movement, Duceppe was mainly trying to make a political statement. However, Duceppe was also trying to cast a vision of a future Quebec wherein its young athletes could aspire to representing Quebec in high-level international tournaments. As a result of situations like this one, the issue of Quebec nationalism, at times, has interlinked with the sport of ice hockey. Prior to the 1995 independence referendum in Quebec, for example, the Toronto Star newspaper compiled a hypothetical list of Quebec national ice hockey team players, including some of the biggest stars in the game at that time, such as Patrick Roy, Mario Lemieux, and Luc Robitaille. This article examines several different facets of the complex nationalist question, including the political uses of the Montreal Canadiens as a vehicle of nationalism, as well as international tournaments designed to give Quebec a place on the world stage. Keywords: Bloc Québécois, hockey, nationalism, sovereignty Résumé En 2005, l’ancien Bloc Québécois (BQ) chef, Gilles Duceppe, a appelé à la création d’équipes de hockey sur glace et de football indépendants pour le Québec.
