Inventory of Plurilingual Pedagogies
This inventory of plurilingual teaching strategies is the culmination of a year-long project at Champlain College - Lennoxville, funded by the Entente Canada-Quebec (2024-2025). It was specifically designed to support faculty in implementing plurilingual pedagogies, an instructional approach that recognizes students’ diverse languages as an interconnected and interdependent repertoire that can be mobilized for learning. By encouraging students to make links with their existing linguistic knowledge when learning (in) a new language, the meaningful meta-cognitive connections and shared strategies can facilitate deeper comprehension and bolster academic success. The project responded to the evolving linguistic landscape of Quebec, particularly the implementation of Bill 96 (Law 14) in 2024 which requires students in Anglophone CEGEPs to complete three additional courses in French, be they language or program-specific courses. This policy shift now compels students to navigate disciplinary concepts in both English and French.
