    Chapeau à vous : French-minority Language Teachers’ Pandemic Pedagogies
    (2023) Cormier, Gail; Burke-Saulnier, Andrea
    The purpose of this paper was to unpack French-minority language teachers’ perspectives on the impact of the pandemic on their teaching. In fall 2021, semi-structured interviews were conducted virtually with 40 K-12 teachers of French as a minority language in Manitoba and Nova Scotia. While the pandemic has undoubtedly been challenging for language and literacy teachers, many have also developed adaptations and strategies. This paper focuses on those pedagogical accomplishments and teachers’ self-reported moments of success. Three main themes explored were the integration of technology into language teaching, language teacher collaboration and linguistic community building with students.

    Le paysage linguistique en milieu minoritaire : une étude de l’affichage commercial à Saint-Boniface, au Manitoba
    (2015) Cormier, Gail
    Ce texte analyse le paysage linguistique de Saint-Boniface, au Manitoba, une communauté francophone minoritaire. Il démontre que le français y est représenté comme langue ayant un statut minoritaire. Même dans le quartier français de la ville, il est facile de voir l’influence de l’anglais. La majorité des panneaux et des enseignes sont bilingues et, souvent, l’anglais y occupe une position prépondérante. Le vandalisme commis contre l’affichage public en français démontre également qu’il existe encore des relations tendues entre les anglophones et francophones de la ville de Winnipeg. Malgré cela, il s’avère primordial de revendiquer l’utilisation de la langue minoritaire dans son paysage linguistique puisque c’est une manière de légitimer la communauté de langue minoritaire.

    The language variable in educational research: an exploration of researcher positionality, translation, and interpretation
    (2018) Cormier, Gail
    In qualitative educational research, the languages spoken by the participants and the researchers can greatly impact the quality of the data collected. This paper will explore the advantages and disadvantages of being an insider researcher by virtue of speaking the same language(s) as the participants. Whether the researcher is a linguistic insider or outsider, he or she will need to make important decisions with regard to translation and interpretation when conducting cross-language research. Such linguistic decisions can also impact the quality of the data collected and the trustworthiness of the research. The advantages and disadvantages of translation and interpretation in qualitative educational research will be explored. This paper offers researchers and students suggestions for conducting cross-language educational research in an ethical and transparent manner.
