Until now, the picture painted of French second language learning in Canada has tended to focus on successful French immersion. This volume offers a broader representation, in response to the demographic changes that have made the French language classroom a more complex place. Focusing on inclusion and language maintenance, the chapters discuss how a multilingual population can add the two official languages to their repertoire whilst maintaining their languages of origin/heritage; how the revitalization of Indigenous languages can best be supported in the language classroom, and how students with disabilities can be helped to successfully learn languages.

Katy Arnett is Associate Professor, St Mary’s College of Maryland, USA, having worked in second language education for 12 years. Her research interests include inclusion in second language learning and newcomer learning, and she is the author of Languages for All: How to Support and Challenge Students in a Second Language Classroom (Pearson Education Canada, 2013).

Callie Mady worked as a language teacher for 16 years and is presently an Associate Professor at Nipissing University, Canada. Her research interests include inclusion in second language education and additional language learning. She is currently the President of the Canadian Association of Applied Linguistics.
