Language cicatrices: Impact on identity and competence in the school environment

Are you an early childhood education professional who wants to better understand the impact of words on your students' identities? This workshop is for you!

Language scars are those invisible marks left by difficult language-related experiences, which influence self-perception and language proficiency. In this workshop, Andrea Burke-Saulnier, associate professor at Université Sainte-Anne and specialist in minority language education, will show you how these scars are formed and their profound impact on the identity development of students in the school environment. This workshop will provide participants with practical tools to better understand and support young people facing these challenges.

Location : Collège Nordique (Yellowknife Room)
