This again is a surprising but true reality we live in and fundamentally the numbers do not lie and show the problem at hand. Another piece of evidence that Loo gives along with education is the teaching and course content (Loo). She gives examples about how students coming into her class do not have the same-shared experiences of learning the same story about the nation (Loo). She brings up a valid point and if there is no same story being taught everywhere in Canada there can be no expectation on the students or even a want to continue learning about this. Her last point about education is that universities are giving the world to their students, she said that how are student suppose to be excited about Canadian history if there are better courses
Donkor, M. (2004). Calculated Kindness: Global Restructuring, Immigration, And Settlement in Canada (pp. 45-60) (R. Folson, Ed.). Halifax, N.S.: Fernwood Pub. In this nonfiction novel based off the writers’ experiences/research, Donkor demonstrated how the education of immigrants focuses on the participation of language skills. From this scholarly writing, Donkor exhibits that the Canadian education system relies on having the ability to communicate properly through a common language; English. This author had studied the gender—analysis framework of terminology and how immigrants training programs were produced and introduced to the people.
This includes the concept of lingua franca, diffusion, and non-material culture. The article references how globalization has a long term effect on the French language in Canada. Globalization is defined as the “shrinking” of the world in terms of communication and interaction, this plays a role in the diffusion of the lingua franca of English. Since English is the lingua franca of the world, the language the used around the world to do business and well as communicate with each other, many people will be learning English for better communication with other parts of the world. This article could also relate to the concept of non-material culture.
Home economics classes, personal finance education, and vocational training are examples of this emphasis. 2) Reading and Writing: Just as the ancient Romans valued reading and writing skills, literacy is a fundamental aspect of modern education in Canada. Differences: 1) Inclusivity: Unlike the Roman education system, modern Canadian education aims to be inclusive and accessible to all genders, ethnicities, and social backgrounds. 2) Comprehensive Curriculum: Canadian education encompasses a wide range of subjects beyond household management, such as science, history, arts, and physical education. 3) Equal Opportunities: In Canada, both boys and girls have equal opportunities to pursue education and careers in any field they choose.
Turn left and walk straight. Face the left wall. This is the Official Languages Act of 1969 which made English and French the official languages of Canada. Keith Spicer became the first official Commissioner of Official Languages and established the Office of the Commissioner of Official Languages (The Commissioner of Official Languages). In his role, he laid the foundations of supporting and implementing the act; he viewed institutional bilingualism as an ideal of human dignity, which showed respect upon the two languages of English and French.
Discrimination and racism were common, with many Chinese individuals experiencing prejudice and exclusion in employment, housing, and public services. Chinese immigrants also faced language barriers, as many were not proficient in English or French, the official languages of Canada. These language barriers hindered access to education and job opportunities. Cultural differences also presented challenges for Chinese immigrants in Canada. Traditional Chinese culture and values often clashed with mainstream Canadian culture, creating tensions between Chinese immigrants and the host society.
Through the history, Quebec Francophone and the rest Anglophones came up several agreements on language education and culture but it never really fixes this problem. French speakers and English speakers discriminate each other and they refuse to provide education and services. Possible solution was placed in the section 16-23. In section 16-22 established the bilingual system and the position of the French language, it guaranteed French would be available in all government services and parliament. The bill in French and English versions is equally authoritative.these section provide a path to ameliorate the relationship; section 23 provided the the language education right, subsection (A) item one stated: “whose first language learned and still
Contrasting Parisian French with Quebecois French French is a language that has conquered much of the world, being spoken extensively in eighty-four countries scattered across the globe. As a pluricentric language, French differs heavily in the way it is spoken from region to region. Two notable French dialects are Parisian French and Quebecois, which are spoken in France and Canada, respectively. Despite their similar linguistic heritage, the two dialects contrast significantly in pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary.
In the article “Newcomers Vote with Their Feet“ by Rudyard Griffiths, there is a lot of Canadians who have a negative attitude toward the newcomers, and the author suggested to resolve the Canadian immigration system problem. Canadians believe that they are able to choose the skilled immigrants just because they are one of the developed countries, and no one can resist Canada. Nevertheless, they are wrong beliefs. In addition, while Canada is the second destination of the new immigrants, 95 percent of the citizens who obtained the Canadian citizenship are unskilled workers. Furthermore, 20 percent of the spending of the federal goes to the language trainers.
The Australian and French culture differ in regard to their schooling systems. Although both countries have many similarities, the main difference is the way in which the schooling systems operate. The two things that differentiae the French and Australian schooling life, is uniform, and the lunch times. Although things are very different in each nation, some things seem to work better than others and vice versa.
n the twentieth century the Government of Canada decided to increase the number of immigrants coming into Canada, this step was taken to include individuals from countries where English was not the first language. The immigration policy led to an inflow of immigrants from all over the world. Now Canada welcomes between 240,000 to 265,000 people each year (Government of Canada, n.d.). An immigrant is a person who moves from their home country to another country for permanent residency (Merriam Webster, n.d.). The highest number of immigrants come from the Philippines (Government of Canada, n.d.).
Therefore, having so many different culture and societies in colleges and schools present how Canada is tolerance to every person and no discrimination, or humiliation is seen towards the
Also implementing Dine culture and language into common core would help our community. For example some American Indian and Alaska Natives have started programs for highly qualified culturally responsive Indigenous teachers. As pre-service teachers we face certain challenges in rural Native schools due to schools not performing academically and changing midway into the semester. Another challenge Castagno states, “teacher preparation is largely controlled and facilitated by mainstream, predominantly White Universities that are set up to convey what is believed to be a sort of universally-applicable education”. From that the teacher’s coursework doesn’t relate to being culturally responsive.
The improvement of the rights of the Canadian Immigrants Canada, as one of the biggest immigration countries, welcomes people from all over the the world and forms a representative multicultural atmosphere in today’s society. Over these few decays, the country has always been consummating the laws to provide immigrants equal rights and freedoms, and better treatments they could receive. However, Canadian immigration laws were not unprejudiced and it eventually caused a “legal discrimination” before 1976. The legal rights of the immigrant groups have improved significantly because of the demands of developing the country, the influences of the wars, and the globalization of the world. Since 1880s, more immigrants and foreigners came to Canada because of the railway construction project.
The Language Culture and Society programme provides us with strong theoretical and interdisciplinary foundation for the study of a range of educational practices across the human lifespan and in a range of theoretical and methodological perspective is brought to bear on studies that explore the nature of literate practices, democracy and civic engagement and participation in social life. The programme focuses on relationships between education school and the dynamics and changing structures of language, culture, and society. It examines connection between broader, social, cultural, linguistic, historical, aesthetic and political factors in education and the local context in which these issues take place. It has long been recognized that language is an essential and important part of a given culture and that the impact of culture upon a given language is something intrinsic and indispensible. Language is a social phenomenon.
