Title
Youth in Two Anglophone High Schools in the Montreal Area: Survey on Language Practices
Abstract
The author examines the results of a survey administered to students in two Anglophone high schools in metropolitan Montreal. The purpose of this survey was to gather information on the language practices of these students, the way in which they used English, French, and other languages in their daily lives, and the relationship of language(s) used to identity, mother tongue and culture. Working from the principle that, rather than being innate, identity is socially constructed, the objective of the author's research was 1) to understand how young people who attend English-language schools in Quebec define themselves as individuals who belong to a particular linguistic group and 2) to determine what led them to make this/these identity choice(s).
