From Rumour to Métis Urban Legend
This article discusses the urban legend of François Guilmette, an alleged participant in the 1870 execution of Thomas Scott during the Red River Resistance. Applying Linda Dégh’s theory of the “legend process,” the study traces how the story of Guilmette evolved from a vague rumour to an accepted fact after first appearing in 1874 legal proceedings. From the 1880s onward, historians and community narratives wove Guilmette into accounts of the Res…

Although cultural diversity is occasionally mentioned as a factor promoting E…

Going Global
This paper argues that the manner in which culture is taught to English learners needs to be rethought in light of the globalisation of the English language. It is maintained that change is needed in at least three areas. First, English teaching professionals should discard the notion that the US and Great Britain represent the sole ‘target cultures’ of the English language. Second, they should rethink the goals of culture and language education …
