Biography

Within the Faculty of Education, at 間眅埶AV (Canada), I work with pre-service and in-service teachers in French Education at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels. I have been trained as a French as a Second/Foreign Language Teacher and my foundational educational experiences were developed within la didactique du plurilinguisme in France.

My scholarship is situated primarily within Plurilingual Education and examines plurilingual practices and attitudes to multilingualism in families, schools and communities, as well as addressing issues relevant to teacher training and professional development in our rapidly expending world.

Une partie de ma recherche est conduite en fran癟ais. En tant que locutrice bilingue, le rapport la langue et aux langues en g矇n矇ral, est au coeur de ma r矇flexion. Je m'attache ainsi examiner la fa癟on dont les langues qui composent les r矇pertoires plurilingues participent la m矇diation communicative et sociale pour construire et donner du sens aux identit矇s individuelles (que celles-ci soient linguistiques, culturelles, ou professionnelles).

Research Interests

My current work investigates teacher education and professional learning/development in plurilingual and multicultural environments, with a specific focus on self-study methodology and the role of reflective practice in developing teachers theories of practice. I use the lenses offered by la didactique du plurilinguisme to examine the intersection between plurilingual approaches to education, professional knowledge about teaching, and the negotiations of professional and personal identities of teachers and teacher educators
