Description:

Project 1
Research Assistant position for a research project supervised by Dr. Nikolay
Slavkov at the Official Languages and Bilingualism Institute of the University
of Ottawa. 

Project Title: Language Background Profiling at Canadian Elementary Schools:
Towards Bilingual and Multilingual Norms

Description: This project investigates what tools and processes public schools
in Canada use to determine the language backgrounds of incoming students. It
combines family, educational and public perspectives related to the concepts
of first/native language, bilingualism, and pluri/multilingualism. Recognition
of issues related to simultaneous (from birth) versus sequential bilingualism,
the role of home or heritage languages, and the ways in which school entry
questionnaires treat them constitutes a central part of this research. 

Duties: The graduate student(s) will be involved in collection and analysis of
school registration forms and other publicly available documents; research
interviews with families of school-age children; other research and project
support, as needed. 

Conditions: Applicants must email a one page (single spaced) cover letter
describing their background and interests and a CV to Prof. Slavkov
(Nikolay.Slavkov at uOttawa.ca). Shortlisted candidates may be invited to a brief
informal interview by Skype or telephone. Applicants must also be admissible
to the University of Ottawa’s MA program in Bilingualism Studies and be
prepared to apply for the program for Fall 2019 admission
(https://olbi.uottawa.ca/ma). 

***Important Language Requirements:*** All applicants must have an excellent
knowledge of one of the two official languages: either English or French. In
addition, at least a receptive knowledge of the other language is also
necessary. 

For more details about the projects, please email Prof. Slavkov
(Nikolay.Slavkov at uOttawa.ca).
