Pour des modèles de vitalité : le dynamisme culturel de la francophonie canadienne en milieu minoritaire

"The cultural vitality of Canada's Francophone and Acadian minority communities is the result of a dynamic between creators, producers and presenters on the one hand, and their audiences on the other. In order to identify the forms of this dynamism, we have undertaken to identify the factors that foster artistic effervescence and to analyze the scope of interactions between these factors in twenty Franco-minority communities in the Canadian diaspora."

La francophonie canadienne : portraits 

"These 'Portraits' present a dynamic picture of the Francophonie canadienne, whose communities have many things in common beyond language: they share a common history of survival, duration, and relationship to the English-speaking majority. Enriched with up-to-date maps, charts, tables, bibliographies, and lists of associations, These 'Portraits' include a wealth of information essential to fully grasp the evolution and vitality of Canadian Francophone communities."

Eloge du Chiac 

Made in the form of conversations between a young teacher in a French school in Moncton and her students, this film shows the difficulties encountered by Francophones in preserving their language in a society where English has been dominant everywhere for centuries.

Pourquoi on parle français? : la question des langues en France et dans le monde 

"A short fictional story about Justin, who speaks Creole in class, introduces ten questions that cover the subject: identity, definitions, language families, dead languages, language and education, law and language, the evolution of language, the French-speaking world, and communication. Excerpts from children's books and a file on laws complete these issues."

Folktales of French Canada 

A collection of folk tales originating from French Canada. This includes animal stories, jokes, anecdotal tales, and myths and legends.

I'm with you : guide to the world of francophone education for exogamous families 

This guide is designed for exogamous families (in this case defined as families where one parent is Francophone and one parent is exclusively English-speaking). Specifically, it is meant to introduce the English-speaking parent to the world of French-language education and help them guide their child through their school years.

Bario Leblieux : the right to learn in French and English

Bario's family is French-Canadian. In the hockey-loving blueberry patch of Oxford, most of the blueberries speak English. While the rest of his hockey team is excited about making it to the Stemley Cup finals, Bario has the blues. He is worried that he is slowly losing his ability to speak in French. How can Bario protect his language and culture in Oxford?
