This was done to meet the needs of anglophone children who had to live in the new francophone context in Qu饕ec. While immersion spread rapidly in primary and secondary institutions in Canada, it remains, to this day, almost inexistant at the university level. However, Graham Fraser, the Commissioner of Official Languages--the federal spokesperson with regards to the promotion and protection of linguistic rights--recommended on multiple occasions that immersion continue at the post-secondary level. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis volume revisits this recommendation; indeed, the title of this book alludes to the highly political nature of any linguistic accommodation, especially in a bilingual or plurilingual context. Graham Fraser's preface places the concept of immersion in a historical perspective of language debates in Canada. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book presents language policies and French immersion programs in higher education institutions in Canadian universities, and more specifically those at the University of Ottawa. It offers a valuable frame of reference for higher education institutions in Canada and abroad.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e H駘鈩e Knoerr\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0776628747\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780776628745\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Ottawa Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/25\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 350\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.02lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.72d","brand":"H駘鈩e Knoerr","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43981201080575,"sku":"9780776628745","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_871815a0-0305-4ea5-94a9-f938bf875185.jpg?v=1683254210","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/immersion-at-university-level-hlne-knoerr-9780776628745","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
