Définition

  • In the protracted debate about how best to create a nation of fluent English speakers in the United States, Canada serves both as a model of successful language immersion programs and as a cautionary tale with respect to the social, political, and economic dynamics that many Americans associate with the Canadian language strife in Quebec. Although the histories of both Canada and the United States testify to the many languages of the native inhabitants of these lands, as well as to the multiple and varied languages of those who immigrated to these countries, the linguistic philosophy and policies of these nations have diverged significantly from the beginning.
