Minority Populations in Canadian Second Language Education

<p>Until now the picture painted of French second language learning in Canada has tended to focus on successful French immersion. This volume offers a broader representation in response to the demographic changes that have made the French language classroom a more complex place. Focusing on inclusion and language maintenance the chapters discuss how a multilingual population can add the two official languages to their repertoire whilst maintaining their languages of origin/heritage; how the revitalization of Indigenous languages can best be supported in the language classroom and how students with disabilities can be helped to successfully learn languages.</p>
