Je suis ravi de partager avec vous la sortie de notre livre co-dirigé avec Kathleen Stein-Smith, intitulé “Le français autour de nous, Langue française et culture francophone aux États-Unis”. Ce livre raconte l’histoire de la langue française et de la culture francophone en Amérique, en se concentrant sur les Franco-Américains, descendants des premiers explorateurs français et des immigrants canadiens-français, ainsi que sur les francophones arrivés plus récemment sur cette rive de l’Atlantique.
L’ouvrage est un voyage fascinant en plein cœur de la culture américaine et des nombreuses communautés francophones du pays. Il explore les nombreuses façons dont le français est présent dans la vie quotidienne des Américains, à travers les noms de famille, de lieux et les aliments que l’on consomme, mais aussi dans les valeurs, les familles, les quartiers et les communautés. Il s’adresse à tous, quelle que soit vos origines, car la francophonie américaine est liée à de nombreuses langues et cultures ayant façonné les États-Unis et avec lesquelles elle s’entremêle parfois.

Continue reading “双语革命 , 两种语言铸就教育的未来”“Dad, why did you lose your tongue?” The question was asked by the five-year-old daughter of Le Monde journalist Nabil Wakim, born in Lebanon and relocated in France at around the same age. Why did Nabil Wakim lose his mother tongue? And why do many personalities in France, like Najat Vallaud-Belkacem and Myriam El Khomri, two former government ministers, or the singer Camélia Jordana, the journalist Nassira El Moaddem and many others, carry this contradiction in them? Namely: having spoken the Arabic language at a younger age before losing it. Worse, finding yourself almost unable to relearn it later. Here is the recording of an interview I recently had with author Nabil Wakim, as part of French Morning’s 2020 Bilingual Fair, and a discussion that I further develop in this blog post.

I was fortunate to be a guest of Sharjah Book Authority during the 2019 Sharjah International Book Fair in the UAE. This was my first time participating in the fair which welcomed over 2 million visitors from the Gulf region and over 60 countries. I took part in a discussion panel debating bilingualism and what the future of diverse bilingual education and communities hold. I also launched the Arabic version of my book, The Bilingual Revolution, thanks to a partnership with Austin Macauley Publishers. Overall, this has been a unique experience which I will never forget.
