French Heritage Learners Roundtable

The U.V.M. Honors College and AFLCR collaboration has led to the creation of two short questionnaires for current adult students who identify as heritage learners, and the parents of children who are growing up in a French-speaking setting. If you would like to complete the Honors' class questionnaire, use this link if you are a current French student or have studied French yourself in the past: https://forms.office.com/r/9WvWVDMiYT Or if you are the parent of a young person who is growing up in a French-speaking context: https://forms.office.com/r/bf62Ez2hM3
On Thursday, March 26 (1-2:30), we will be hosting an open-house style round-table for interested community members to meet with University of Vermont students and discuss their experiences as adult learners and their motivations for learning or reclaiming the French language. If you grew up hearing French spoken in your home environment, you may have spoken it as a young person, or perhaps felt the need later in life to learn the language that was not imparted to you, please consider sharing your experience with us on March 26. The Honors College class and professor Dr. Ying Hu hope this is just the beginning of a long-range effort to value, advocate and provide for heritage learners of all kinds in Vermont. To RSVP for the round-table, please write to AFLCR School Director Marc Juneau: education@aflcr.org or to Dr. Hu: Ying.Hu@uvm.edu
