Lessons from research for les familles exogames Blanchette Deans, Rachelle

Abstract

This project examines the lessons from research for les familles exogames. The expression “les familles exogames” is used in the French Early Childhood Education and Education sectors in Ontario to refer to families where one parent is French speaking, while the other has another language (predominantly English) (Ontario Ministry of Education, 2004). The focus of this paper is on parental decisions with respect to language or languages spoken at home and choosing early childhood settings and schools.
