Item Open Access Celebration Of Authorship Program 2017-2018(University of Regina Library, 2018) Anderson, Carl; Barber, Patrick Wayne; Archibald-Barber, Jesse Rae; Bowen, Gail; Brooks, Harrison; Bundock, Chris; Campbell, Anne; Conway, J F (John); Cote, Mark; Coupal, Chelsea; Cranston, Jerome; Elliot, Patricia; Helewa, Sami SJ; Hadjistavropoulos, Thomas; Kikulwe, Daniel; Koops, Sheena; Betterige, Robert; Coucill, Jim; Crowe, June; Dube, Mary-Anne; Duncan, Joyce; Helstrom, Cheri; Juby, Bob; Kellendonk, Alice; Leier, Kathryn; Lundahl, Bev; McDonald, Ian; Millard, Ivan; Mitchell, June; Nawrocki, Lucille; Paul, Linda; Quinn, Trevor; Shirkie, Bob; Stankewick, Kelly; Thurm, Shirely; Tirk, Ron; Tunison, Wayne; Tutt, Sherrie; Wells, Sarah; Whippler, Hazel; Whitaker, Christine; Wigmore, Morena; Wood, Gerri; McNinch, James; Meisner, Dwayne; Owl, Natalie; Atter, Heidi; Ellis, Brendan; Ermine, Annette; Giesbrecht, Lynne; Konkel, Alec; Lawlor, Alexa; Noyes, Jayda; Poplyansky, Michael; Sauchyn, David J.; Schubert, Josef; Sherbert, Gerry; Spooner, Mark; Stewart, Douglas; Wagner, Joan; Yoh, AbdoulayeItem Open Access Faciliter l’intégration des immigrants du Moyen-Orient dans la communauté fransaskoise(Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research, University of Regina, 2022-04-11) Khoja, Reem; Poplyansky, Michael; Akinpelu, Michael; Labrecque, RémiThis research aims to facilitate the integration of immigrants from the Middle East (with different linguistic backgrounds) into the Fransaskois community. The existing literature illustrates the importance of immigration in Canada and, particularly, in Western Canada. This immigration plays a major role in securing francophone minorities’ demographic weight. The Fransaskois community, given its flexible inclusion criteria, seems capable of integrating immigrants. Immigrants from the Middle East also show much linguistic and cultural flexibility and are willing to choose the “Francophone route” when they settle in Saskatchewan. However, in this study, through interviews with immigrants from the Middle East and representatives of Fransaskois organizations, we try to clarify the ambiguities that can result from the lack of promotion, communication, information, or presentation of French-speaking settlement services (schooling, francization and acculturation). Good will is not lacking; Middle Eastern immigrants and leaders of Fransaskois organizations are convinced of the positive effects of integrating immigrants from the Middle East into the Fransaskois community. All that remains is to improve communication and mutual understanding.Item Open Access La Loi sur les langues officielles 1969: Réactions dans le Regina Leader Post(Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research, University of Regina, 2020-09) Uzowuru, Francisca Nneka; Poplyansky, Michael; Aito, Emmanuel; Boutouchent, FadilaThis study is about the reactions of anglophones in Saskatchewan to the Official Languages Act of 1969. This study is based on a systematic analysis of 132 articles published in the Regina Leader Post between 1968 and 1969. The objective of this research is to identify the factors that influenced the opinions of anglophone Canadians in Saskatchewan to the Official Languages Act and to determine the role that the Regina Leader Post played throughout the debate on the Official Languages Act between 1968 and 1969. This study established that the actors of the debate on bilingualism were influenced by many factors. For example, supporters of the Official Languages Act saw bilingualism as a very important contributor to the unity of Canada. Supporters of bilingualism also argued that bilingual education was important for the development of a child who would one day find himself in a French-speaking province or seek a job in the public service of Canada. However, we also discovered from the Regina Leader Post that MPs, most notably former Prime Minister John Diefenbaker were very opposed to bilingualism. They saw the Official Languages Act as a plan by Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau to make Canada a “dual nation”. There was also concern from the Saskatchewan premier Ross Thatcher that the Official Languages Act would disadvantage Anglophone Saskatchewanians. From the research, we discovered that the Regina Leader Post played a very important role during the debate on the Official Languages Act of 1969. Between 1968 and1969 the word bilingualism appeared in Regina Leader Post 132 times; this simply means that the Regina Leader Post reinforced “bilingualism’s” place at the top of the political agenda during that period. From most of the editorials that we saw, the Regina Leader Post framed official bilingualism as an important contributor to the unity of Canada. The Regina Leader Post gave voice to supporters of bilingualism who were mostly elites. We also discovered that the Regina Leader Post described official bilingualism as a mark of success for prime minister Trudeau.Item Open Access De la terminologie à la socioterminologie: étude de l’implantation terminologique(Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research, University of Regina, 2020-03) Etommy, Fredrick Ehizojie; Akinpelu, Michael; Aito, Emmanuel; Poplyansky, Michael; Igwe, ChidiTerminology (as a discipline) can be described as the scientific study of all the terms of a particular domain, used in the specialty languages, while socioterminology is a branch of terminology that is characterized by the study of the social circulation of terms and their appropriation, which implies the analysis of language practices, discursive functioning and the historical course of terms related to history of ideas. Terminological implantation therefore is seen as one of the means by which official terms can be circulated in a language of a specialized field or society. This means that implantation of official terms (proposed or standardized) among users is, of course, one of the most essential steps for the success of terminological activities in a language of a particular field or society in general. However, with regards to the fact that for a successful implantation of official terms (proposed or standardized) in a given language of a specialized field or society, the terms must penetrate the users (it has to be received and used by the users); the aim of the present research work is to examine the factors that promote implantation of terms in a society. To accomplish this, we examined terms in the special field of automobile, compiled and published by the Office québécois de la langue française (OQLF) over forty years ago, in order to see if they are still in circulation even today, seen that this field is one of the specialized fields where implantation of terms has been carried out largely on the French language in Quebec society.Item Open Access Le droit à une éducation de qualité? Une étude comparative de l’expérience des filles autochtones au Nigéria et au Canada, 1850- 1960(Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research, University of Regina, 2021-09) Odeleye, Oluwatoyin Abike; Poplyansky, Michael; Akinpelu, Michael; Mambu, Leoni MvumbiDans la mesure où les gens se reproduisent et que les enfants sont élevés et nourris, le besoin d'une éducation fonctionnelle devient évident. Le niveau de vie de toute personne peut varier en fonction de l'accès équitable à une éducation de qualité. Le Nigeria et le Canada ont un héritage historique commun (anciennes colonies du Commonwealth britannique). Ce sont tous deux des sociétés multiethniques avec un passé colonial similaire. Les peuples autochtones du Canada et du Nigeria ont tous deux une histoire traditionnelle et des cultures uniques, et leur éducation traditionnelle est très similaire. Pourtant, aucune étude comparative de l’éducation des peuples autochtones du Canada et du Nigeria n'a encore été entreprise. Par conséquent, l'objectif de cette étude est de découvrir les similitudes et les différences dans les expériences éducatives des filles au Nigeria et au Canada entre 1850 et 1960. Cette recherche est une étude de cas comparative inspirée des études de genre, des féminismes africains et autochtones et des études postcoloniales. Une méthode historique est utilisée pour déterminer les causes et les conséquences de l’attitude négative à l'égard de l'éducation des filles dans le passé. La thèse nous permet de voir les causes historiques des problèmes sociaux actuels au niveau de l’éducation des filles. On saisit mieux l’histoire coloniale du Canada et du Nigeria et leurs politiques éducatives envers les filles autochtones.Item Open Access Les technologies de l’information et de la communication dans l’apprentissage du français au Nigeria(Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research, University of Regina, 2021-07) Ibirinde, Danilola Foluke; Akinpelu, Michael; Aito, Emmanuel; Poplyansky, Michael; Afolabi, SegunThe learning of French as a foreign language has been influenced by Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in recent years. Some technologies became absorbed into emerging new ones, while others were born as a result of societal demands. With this current reality, the place of ICT in learning French as a foreign language has become inevitable. These recent developments are however hardly visible in Nigeria, a country where pedagogical practices, especially with regard to ICT, are affected by constraints such as lack of adequate technological equipment and poor practices of integrating multimedia. These problems do not give rise to innovative practices as noticed in developed countries. However, the education system and teaching methods can evolve provided beneficial educational reforms are put in place especially pertaining to the use of technology in teaching. This research explores the use of ICT in language learning in Nigeria. More specifically, it examines the importance of ICT in the learning of the French language at the post-secondary level and also provides recommendations on how this could be adapted to the Nigerian context, including the use of the envisaged platforms by students and teachers at the post-secondary level. To achieve this, a survey was conducted in few Nigerian post-secondary schools using an online questionnaire, in order to better understand the current situation.Item Open Access University of Regina Community Authors 2017-2018(University of Regina Library, 2018) Cote, Mark; Barber, Patrick Wayne; Schubert, Josef; Stewart, Douglas; Bundock, Chris; Spooner, Mark; McNinch, James; Helewa, Sami SJ; Poplyansky, Michael; Yoh, Abdoulaye; Meisner, Dwayne; Sherbert, Gerry; Hadjistavropoulos, Thomas; Koops, Sheena; Coupal, Chelsea; Campbell, Anne; Wagner, Joan; Billan, Jennifer L.; Oleson, Eric J.; Owl, Natalie; Archibald-Barber, Jesse Rae; Conway, J F (John); Kikulwe, Daniel; Sauchyn, David J.; Anderson, Carl; Cranston, Jerome; Atter, Heidi; Brooks, Harrison; Ellis, Brendan; Ermine, Annette; Giesbrecht, Lynne; Konkel, Alec; Lawlor, Alexa; Noyes, Jayda; Bowen, Gail; Elliot, Patricia
