Book Description
Using extensive archival research, Gendron rebuts the argument of Quebec nationalists and scholars that the Canadian government's neglect of French Africa forced Quebec to develop its own international identity. Towards a Francophone Community shows that there had been active federal interest in French African affairs since the late 1940s, within the context of developments in NATO and the Cold War, the vagaries of Canada's relations with France, and the Quiet Revolution in Quebec.

Book Description
Why does everything sound better if it's said in French? That fascination is at the heart of The Story of French, the first history of one of the most beautiful languages in the world that was, at one time, the pre-eminent language of literature, science and diplomacy. In a captivating narrative that spans the ages, from Charlemagne to Cirque du Soleil, Jean-Benoît Nadeau and Julie Barlow unravel the mysteries of a language that has maintained its global influence despite the rise of English. As in any good story, The Story of French has spectacular failures, unexpected successes and bears traces of some of history's greatest figures: the tenacity of William the Conqueror, the staunchness of Cardinal Richelieu, and the endurance of the Lewis and Clark expedition. Through this colorful history, Nadeau and Barlow illustrate how French acquired its own peculiar culture, revealing how the culture of the language spread among francophones the world over and yet remains curiously centered in Paris. In fact, French is not only thriving—it still has a surprisingly strong influence on other languages. As lively as it is fascinating, The Story of French challenges long held assumptions about French and shows why it is still the world's other global language.

Book Description
This unit serves as a means for students to explore various aspects of Francophone cultures. To demonstrate the diversity that exists in the Francophone world, countries have been chosen from five different continents. Students examine various cultural realities by using authentic documents, such as French rail tickets. Students discover the variety of festivals, markets, celebrities, linguistic variations, and elements of daily life from specific countries. Students are encouraged to reflect upon the similarities and differences between life in other countries and life in Canada. Final Task: Groups of six students participate in a board game that features Francophone countries around the world. Teams of two will make their way around the board by correctly answering a question on Francophone culture on each space. These questions are developed by the students themselves and will focus on the many cultural elements found in each country. Workbook Blackline Masters support the core activities, and provide opportunities for students to practise language. Also included are additional complementary activities and a comprehensive French-English Lexique for student reference. Also includes the Mini-guide section reproduced in the back of the workbook.
