"Made in Quιbec" is a four-week, one-course program in Montrιal and Quιbec City that explores the intersection of marketing and identity through the lens of la politique linguistique. We welcome applications from undergraduates who have had at least four semesters of French. Please encourage your students to apply, and forward widely!
For more information, please see: http://studyabroad.duke.edu/home/Programs/Summer/Duke_in_Montr_al ToutCanadien: A Website Devoted to French in North America
The mission of the ToutCanadien website (www.toutcanadien.com) is to become the most complete on-line resource for the acquisition of the North-American French Language. It is a "one-stop-shopping" language-acquisition site offering the three primary components to language learning: pronunciation, grammar and vocabulary. It is also a comprehensive directory of Canadian French resources. Womens Francophone Business Practices website http://womensmicrofinance.wordpress.com/
There are some pedagogical resources, extensive links to texts that deal with women's microfinance and also African cultural practices, and a list of films to be used in class. This was created in an effort to move outside of France/Canada and look more broadly at the variety of business practices occuring in Francophone communities.
Deb S. Reisinger, Ph.D. Assistant Director, French Language Program Here is an activity I recently designed for my Business French course. We are currently dealing with issues related to globalization.
I hope other instructors will find it useful.
