Family language policy and parental language ideologies among Chinese transnational families in multilingual Luxembourg
Nurturing critical multilingual awareness with pre-service (pre)primary teachers through an interdisciplinary, project-based approach
Teachers in France working with (emergent) bilingual pupils often not only feel ill-equipped to provide the specific support these learners require, but also find it difficult to accept that languages other than French have a right and role as learning resources in the classroom. Challenging such monolingual mindsets whilst helping teachers to understand, experience and experiment with the linguistic and cultural diversity of their classrooms req…
Mitigating Sars-CoV-2 Transmission in Hispanic and Latino Communities—Prince William Health District, Virginia, June 2020
Moving beyond the Court of Public Opinion
Health system decision-makers need to understand the value of new technology to make "value for money" decisions. Typically, narrow definitions of value are used. This paper reports on a Canadian Citizens' Jury which was convened to elicit those aspects of value that are important to the public. The criteria used by the public to determine value included those related to the patient, those directly related to caregivers and those directly created…
Adrift between republican values and plurilingual policies
In France, education policies concerning children’s home languages have recently changed, with the country’s highly centralized and monolingual national education system now promoting inclusive language policies, specifically at the pre-primary level (M.E.N. (Ministère de l’Education Nationale). 2016. Statégie langues vivantes . 22 janvier 2016. Paris). However, such prescribed practices run contrary to historically rooted monolingual ideologies …
Blurring the borders between research and practice
This paper presents data collected within the context of a teacher education course designed to raise student teachers’ critical language awareness. Firstly, we describe the process of selecting, editing and constructing a bank of thematic extracts of filmed classroom interactions and interviews for use in teacher education. Secondly, we explore the impact of these materials on students’ willingness and desire to reflect on issues concerning lang…
Improving Outcome Accountability of Block Grants
The flexibility federal block grants provide recipients poses challenges for evaluation. These challenges include aggregating data on wide-ranging activities grant recipients implement and the outcomes they achieve. In 2014, we began designing an evaluation to address the challenges of assessing outcomes and to improve outcome accountability for the Preventive Health and Health Services Block Grant. Through the use of evaluability assessment meth…
Tracking Public Health Workforce Retention
Objectives. To describe the career trajectories of 1 cohort of US Public Health Associate Program (PHAP) alumni over 3 years since completing PHAP. Methods. We distributed a Web-based survey at 3 time points between 2014 and 2017 (response rate = 76%). We calculated descriptive statistics in SPSS. Results. At all time points, most alumni were employed. Of those, the percentage employed in public health was 100% at program completion, 86% at year …
A checklist for managed access programmes for reimbursement co‐designed by Canadian patients and caregivers
INTRODUCTION: Reimbursement decisions on orphan drugs carry significant uncertainty, and as the amount increases, so does the risk of making a wrong decision, where harms outweigh benefits. Consequently, patients often face limited access to orphan drugs. Managed access programmes (MAPs) are a mechanism for managing risk while enabling access to potentially beneficial drugs. Patients and their caregivers have expressed support for these programme…
Parents in the playground, headscarves in the school and an inspector taken hostage
In France, dominant monolingual discourses and teachers’ lack of knowledge about bilingualism and second language acquisition often result in ‘French only’ policies in classrooms including in pre-school classrooms where some emergent bilingual children speak a language other than the language of schooling and very little or no French. These policies can be detrimental to emergent bilingual children's language development, identity construction an…
In memory of Prof. Dr Carl James
With great sadness we have learned that Prof. Dr Carl James passed away on 1st November 2016, having suffered for some time from Alzheimer's disease.Carl James was one of the original members of th
Engaging with emergent bilinguals and their families in the pre-primary classroom to foster well-being, learning and inclusion
This article presents data from a longitudinal study undertaken in a pre-primary classroom of 3–4-year-old emergent bi/plurilingual children during their first year of formal schooling in France. It focuses on how the teacher’s intercultural competence facilitated the emergent bilingual children’s transition from home to school and fostered positive relationships with these parents and included them in the classroom. The data also suggest that th…
Defining and Assessing Quality Improvement Outcomes
We describe an evidence-based framework to define and assess the impact of quality improvement (QI) in public health. Developed to address programmatic and research-identified needs for articulating the value of public health QI in aggregate, this framework proposes a standardized set of measures to monitor and improve the efficiency and effectiveness of public health programs and operations. We reviewed the scientific literature and analyzed QI …
The Voice-Index and Digital Voice Interface
The voice-index is discussed as a conceptual model for creating a live digital voice. Vocal feature extraction employs the voice as a live electronic interface, referenced in the author’s performative work
Unpacking teachers’ language ideologies
In France, most teachers still receive scant training in how to support plurilingual children in their learning of and through the language of instruction. In the absence of relevant, in-depth knowledge about language, we believe that many teachers are practising language policies based on beliefs rooted in ideologies unsupported by research findings.In this paper, we will present and analyse data from interviews with head teachers (n = 46) from …
The Notion of Diversity in Language Education
This paper will present an analysis of the notion of cultural and linguistic diversity in the new curriculum for primary schools in France (MEN, 2003). First, it will explain how this notion is linked both to a wider choice of languages and to the teaching of one foreign or regional language only. We shall argue that, despite the wide theoretical choice of languages and the purported ministerial objective of 'familiarisation' with linguistic and …
Language Awareness and/or Language Learning in French Primary Schools Today
The paper presents the language policies being implemented in French primary schools under the present educational reform and considers how they tackle the question of sociocultural and linguistic pluralism. It questions the choice of teaching one foreign language from a very early age at kindergarten rather than opting for a model of language awareness which takes into account the various languages spoken outside school by a growing number of ch…
Bilingualism and Language Education in French Primary Schools
While bilingual education programmes in European mainstream languages are becoming increasingly popular in France, the bilingualism of migrant children remains overlooked and is believed by many to delay the acquisition of French. An institutionalised language hierarchy lies all too often unchallenged within the French education system and linguistic policies for primary schools, while trying to develop foreign language learning from the earliest…
