B. Research Endeavours
1. Projects
2001-present
Literacies in Web education. Leading LANG, a research group composed of
Language departments’ representatives at the University of Toronto. The research
team is currently investigating web environments that will generate new teaching
paradigms in languages, literatures and cultures programs. The research aims at
developing surveys and tools to conduct critical analysis and evaluation of on-line
research and pedagogical resources and tools available to programs in Mediated
communication, Intercultural Communication, Language Studies and Didactics.
2000-present
Collaborated with colleagues from French Studies at the University of Toronto and
in France on “ Le Net des Études françaises ”. The research network are people who
work in the field of French Studies. The web research tools developed aim to help
everyone - author, distributor, reader – to measure the various parcels of the field
of French Studies.
2000-present
Research on on-line evaluation. Chairing LANG, a research group composed of
Language departments’ representatives at the University of Toronto. The research
group launched a two-year study that aims at exploring how multimedia interfaces
and databases can be applied to re-interpret on-line testing. The project’s main
objective is to evaluate students’ perception of on-line tools designed to evaluate
the four language skills. The research team is currently investigating as well how
relational databases and tracking tools can help administrators and teachers gain
knowledge on students learning profile.
1998-present
Research on hypertext language and knowledge networks. Collaborating on a team
composed of researchers from various Canadian universities : Glendon College,
Université du Québec à Montréal and University of Ottawa. The study investigates
how theories on hypertext and knowledge networks can inform our understanding
of oral and written language development. It explores pedagogical applications to
illustrate how media are used to disseminate knowledge in various francophone
cultures. The study objective is to develop Web-based courseware on Intercultural
Communication.
1998-present
Research on spoken French in France and Canada. The research aims at studying
learners’ recognition of variations in spoken French as well as of varied type of oral
discourse. A multimedia database was implemented as well to support gathering of
corpora on spoken French in France and Canada. The courseware and CD-ROM
“ Paroles francophones ” illustrate applications to the research. It was co-developed
with Françoise Mougeon (Glendon Collège) as a multimedia tool to accompany the
teaching manual “ Quel français parler ? ”.
1997-present
Research on multilingual multimedia database. Collaborating with Chass
(Computing in the Humanities and Social Science) and LANG at the university of
Toronto. The study aims at analyzing language instructors and learners’ searching
behaviours when accessing multidisciplinary collections of objects that refer to a
multitude of topics and are stored in a variety of digital formats. This project
4
investigates also how relational databases can increase the delivery of pedagogical
resources in a classroom or desktop environment.
1997-present
Research on visual interfaces that foster acquisition of skills in Knowledge Media
and IT in networked classrooms. The research was interdisciplinary in its scope.
The courseware, “ Réseaux, multimédia and Communication ”, illustrates the first
findings of the study. It was jointly developed by Louise Poissant (Programme de
recherches en arts médiatique, Université du Québec à Montréal), Pierre Bélanger
(Département de communication, University of Ottawa) Michel Sénécal (Téluq)
and Dominique Scheffel-Dunand (University of Toronto).
1996-present
Research on pedagogical courseware to study how hypertex and multimedia can
enhance language learners’ perception of oral narratives and help them develop
fluency in aural production. The courseware, “ Situations d'oral ”, developed for this
study was a first attempt at developing visual interfaces that could answer the needs
of various learning patterns in oral language acquisition.
