<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">Dear Colleagues in FSL Education, </p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">My name is Rochelle Gour and I am an Ontario non-native (i.e, French is not my first language) high school teacher. I currently teach Grade 9 core French (i.e., beginner-level French as a second language) in Ontario.
I am also a concurrent doctoral student at the University of Calgary (online program). </p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">For my dissertation, I am seeking your assistance in potentially becoming my research participant. I am actively looking for Ontario non-native Grade 9 core French teachers to help me explore cultural education. <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Specifically,
my research is looking to determine how these teachers expose their students to cultural activities in this beginner-level classroom when the educators are not of primary French-speaking backgrounds.</span></p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">Please review my flyer (i.e., the attached document), to provide you with additional information. My flyer includes a link to my direct survey about cultural education for this program (with the non-native teacher-speaker
identity) for your review. <b>I welcome you to review my questionnaire</b> and I would be grateful if you could complete it and provide me with the appropriate consent. You may wish to continue as an official participant for 2 interviews with me, and then
one online focus group with fellow teachers. </p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">Please do not hesitate in emailing me at
<b>rochelle.gour1@ucalgary.ca</b> with any questions. </p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">In faith,</p>
