Page 3: Www.immersion.uOttawa.ca. Agenda An introduction The context A pedagogical approach The program developed Some results.

Schools: a counterbalanced approach• Formal (grammar) vs Informal (cultural, social)• Accent mis sur l’approche communicative

• Le français appliqué (les 6 thémes AP)

In College: the Classic Approach• Grammar, litterature in a ‘vacuum’• Separating language from content

Useful vs interesting• Focus on form does not motivate students• Lit courses do not help improve

La prémisse

10,000 hours to master something

Student exchanges to ‘immerse’ oneself in the language and develop ‘real’ skills

These ‘real’ interactions serve as a powerful catalyst despite the challenges and risks.

Many not willing to give it a try… especially at the college level

Courses

Challenges of content courses taught in L2

surrounded by L1 speakers+ no friends, social network+ speed, vocabulary and idioms + student’s partial comprehension

= intimidation and anxiety

The Virtuous Circle Séror & Weinberg, 2013

A pattern where students are forced at first, but then ultimately gradually choose to go further in their engagement with French and the French community.

Page 7: Www.immersion.uOttawa.ca. Agenda An introduction The context A pedagogical approach The program developed Some results.

Le cercle vertueux Séror & Weinberg,

2013

• Affective factors are at work. Feelings of risk and discomfort must be managed for the cycle to begin

• Students confirm that initial interactions in L2 or with native speakers are far from comfortable• The challenge of learning to feel "at

ease" developing relationships with L1 speakers in the absence of prior experiences and contact.

• SUPPORT IS KEY TO ALLOWING THE VIRTUOUS CIRCLE TO BEGIN!!!!

Some context

University of Ottawa1848 – Education in BOTH languages:

a.m. in French, p.m. in English.

1874 – education in either language

1974 – legal mandate to further bilingualism“Bilingualism in its administration, faculties, programs,

services, and student population.”

Page 13: Www.immersion.uOttawa.ca. Agenda An introduction The context A pedagogical approach The program developed Some results.

Un environnement bilingue

Aujourd’hui, 40 000 étudiants

28 000 anglo12 000 franco

4 000 ‘francophiles’ : anglophones qui étudient en français

Largest bilingual university in North America

Largest French-bilingual university in the world

Page 14: Www.immersion.uOttawa.ca. Agenda An introduction The context A pedagogical approach The program developed Some results.

Un environnement bilingue

80% des cours et programmes offerts dans les 2 langues

Depuis 20 ans, un grand nombre d’étudiants anglophones bilingues sur le campus

Mais peu s’inscrivaient à des cours de discipline en français

Page 15: Www.immersion.uOttawa.ca. Agenda An introduction The context A pedagogical approach The program developed Some results.

Les craintes

““I’d like to but…I’d like to but…

“What if I don’t understand well enough?” 

“I’m afraid it will affect my average.”  

“Is it a lot of extra work?”

“Is it worth the risk?”

Page 16: Www.immersion.uOttawa.ca. Agenda An introduction The context A pedagogical approach The program developed Some results.

• A bilingual environment• A stream created for anglophone

students• Incentives, resources and support

• Gradual transition les études en français • Au moins 1/3 des cours réussis en

françaisObjective: Become professionally bilingual

Challenges for students

• Transition from high school to university.• L2 students are minority in class with L1

students for the first time in their life.• Content course is geared to francophones. • Major readings in L2.• Adaptation to lecture styles and class (speed, accent, group size.)• Cultural references are lost

on them

La solution

Notre ‘potion magique’

Soutien linguistique adapté au contenu disciplinaire pendant 2 ans

Page 26: Www.immersion.uOttawa.ca. Agenda An introduction The context A pedagogical approach The program developed Some results.

Encadrement linguistique

• 1982-95 – initial experiements• 2005 – large-scale offering

• Sheltered/adjunct courses • Comprehensible input. “Language acquired

incidentally through extensive exposure to comprehensive second language input.” (Krashen)

• Instructional Scaffolding (Vygostky, Lyster)• Courses in management, economics, liberal arts,

social sciences, health sciences, biology

Page 27: Www.immersion.uOttawa.ca. Agenda An introduction The context A pedagogical approach The program developed Some results.

Adjunct Model

Disciplinary Course Study alongside L1 students. L2 students use the same textbook and take the same exam.

Content course

Adjunct

Adjunct Language CourseReserved for L2 students. Based on the discipline course. Reviews disciplinary content, lectures, readings and specialized vocabulary.

Adjunct Course Characteristics

Adjunct courses at three levels• Level 1 – focus on receptive skills• Level 2 – focus on productive skills• Level 3 – advanced speaking and writing

•Level 1 and 2 classes: 90 minutes/week. Students all attend the same content course. Language teacher also attends.•Level 3 classes are 3 hours per week. Students are from different content courses. Language teacher does not attend content courses.

Page 30: Www.immersion.uOttawa.ca. Agenda An introduction The context A pedagogical approach The program developed Some results.

Cours d’encadrement

Les activités ont une double finalité: développer du matériel sur mesure pour - développer la compétence linguistique - transférer des connaissances langagières et disciplinaires

Page 31: Www.immersion.uOttawa.ca. Agenda An introduction The context A pedagogical approach The program developed Some results.

Challenges for Teachers

• Adjunct course is different from traditional approach

• No previous training in content but must use and understand content course material.

• Evaluating knowledge of language through content, but not evaluating content.

• Collaboration with the content professor, or lack thereof.

• In high school, finding courses that French students share

Quelques observations

Les plus vieux jettent un regard vers l’arrière

Page 57: Www.immersion.uOttawa.ca. Agenda An introduction The context A pedagogical approach The program developed Some results.

• I wanted to be in a setting where I could actually USE French.

• I wanted to continue learning IN French, but not necessarily about the French language, so learning my content courses in French was the perfect fit.

• I feel uncomfortable using my French, thinking my English accent is really noticeable.

The students speak (verbatim)

Page 58: Www.immersion.uOttawa.ca. Agenda An introduction The context A pedagogical approach The program developed Some results.

• The qualitative grades allowed me to take very challenging courses during my 2nd year and concentrate on my learning rather than managing my GPA.

• The biggest challenge is having to do oral presentations in classes with francophone students
