Colloque sur l’avenir de l’enseignement français à l’étranger

J’ai pu assister, le 15 mars dernier, à une partie du colloque sur les établissements français à l’étranger organisé le 15 mars dernier par la députée Samantha Cazebonne à la suite du rapport qu’elle a rédigé : L’enseignement français à l’étranger : une ambition réaffirmée dans un nouveau contexte international. J’étais bien sûr honoré de me retrouver dans la prestigieuse salle Colbert à l’Assemblée nationale de la République française et de retrouver plusieurs bonnes connaissances, dont le député Roland Lescure, l’ancien sénateur André Ferrand et Marine Havel, qui représentait ce jour-là la fédération des programmes FLAM des Etats-Unis.

Keynote at NYSAWLA 2019

I was honored to deliver the keynote during the annual meeting of New York State Association of World Language Administrators (NYSAWLA), a professional organization that supports World Language leaders with professional development, advocacy efforts, access to resources and the development and administration of regional language exams.

I was able to share success stories from the Bilingual Revolution, and presented examples from the Arabic, Chinese, German, Greek, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Russian, Spanish dual-language programs and parent-led initiatives.

The conference was held at Hofstra University on March 8, 2019. This year’s theme was “Let’s fulfill the promise! Bilingualism for ALL!

Congratulations to NYSAWLA President Francesco L. Fratto for his leadership and advocacy for multilingual education in the United States.

[FR] Épisode 5 : Joseph Dunn, porte-drapeau du français en Louisiane

Dans l’épisode 5 du podcast “Révolution Bilingue”, je m’intéresse à la langue française en Louisiane.

Si le français revit ces dernières années en Louisiane, on le doit notamment à Joseph Dunn, qui se bat depuis des années, avec d’autres, pour le bilinguisme et la défense du français. Lorsque la Louisiane est entrée dans l’Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie l’an dernier, “mon rêve est devenu réalité” dit-il.

Want to Empower Multilingual Families and Linguistic Communities with a Book?

Too often researchers and educators have valuable knowledge to share with the world and lack the confidence to put down their ideas in a book. As someone who went through these steps, I can only encourage you to tell yourself “It’s possible and I can do it.” Publishing The Bilingual Revolution has opened so many doors to me, and brought so many rewarding exchanges with people over the world. If you have a how-to book in mind, a dissertation, an essay that can help families and communities around the world, consider this opportunity!

[DE] Buchvorstellung von Die bilinguale Revolution am Goethe-Institut

Anfang Januar habe ich am Goethe-Institut in New York die deutsche Version von The Bilingual Revolution vorgestellt, Die bilinguale revolution, Zweisprachigkeit und die Zukunft der Bildung. Da die meisten Eltern in New York ihre Kinder in den Kindergartenklassen anmeldeten, bot es sich an, über das deutsche zweisprachige Programm an der P.S. 18 Edward Bush in Williamsburg (Brooklyn) zu sprechen. Der Nettoerlös des Abends wurde an das aufstrebende zweisprachige Programm der Schule gespendet.
