L’apprentissage du français langue seconde par l’engagement en milieu communautaire francophone : une approche interculturelle transformatrice

The author evaluates a pedagogical undertaking at John Abbott CEGEP whose aim was to increase the motivation and investment of English language students in learning French as a second language and improving their attitudes towards the Francophone community and its language. The pedagogical undertaking consisted of a hybrid course built on the community service-learning approach, taught alternately in the classroom and in the Francophone community. The author concludes that the feeling of insecurity and distrust at the outset, generated by a relationship of power perceived by Anglophone students as unequal between the language groups, was transformed into confidence as ties were formed with Francophones during activities.
