Research

I am interested in the history of language education, including but not limited to the history of approaches to multilingual education, language teacher education, and the development of language education policy. Right now, I am particularly focused on the development and professionalisation of teachers of “modern foreign languages” within predominantly anglophone environments in the late 19th century and the ways in which multi- and pluri-lingual theories of language learning developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s within the contexts of social change in France and in Canada. I also study the ways in which language teacher educators teach future teachers using a reflexive methodological approach.

L’histoire de l’enseignement des langues, y compris mais sans s’y limiter, l’histoire des approches de l’éducation multilingue, de la formation des enseignants de langues et de l’élaboration de politiques d’éducation aux langues sont mes intérêts de recherche. À l’heure actuelle, j’essaie de mieux comprendre la formation et la professionnalisation des enseignants de «langues vivants étrangères » dans des environnements à prédominance anglophone à la fin du XIXe siècle, ainsi qu’au développement des théories multilingues et plurilingues de l’apprentissage des langues à la fin des années 1960 début des années 1970 dans le contexte des changements sociaux qui ont pris place en France et au Canada au cours de ces décennies. J'étudie également la manière dont les formateurs d'enseignants de langues enseignent à ces futurs enseignants en utilisant une approche méthodologique réflexive.
