| 236 | Wynne Wong "Linking Form and Meaning: Processing Instruction" |
This paper presents a psycholinguistically motivated type of grammar instruction called processing instruction (PI), to show how learners can be pushed to make form-meaning connections as they attempt to process three grammatical structures in French: (1) the obligatory use of de/d' with a negative after avoir, (2) the French subjunctive, and (3) the French causative. A model of input processing can be used to help learners develop more efficient strategies to process input better. Empirical research supports the use of PI in the classroom. |
| 265 | Bonnie Adair-Hauck and Richard Donato "The PACE Model: A Story-Based Approach to Meaning and Form for Standards-Based Language Learning" |
L. S. Vygotsky's constructivist approach to second language learning has received considerable interest from the profession. Vygotsky's research underscores the powerful tool of discursive interaction between human beings both inside and outside the classroom. This article discusses how a Vygotskian psycholinguistic approach can be applied to grammar instruction. |
| 278 | Bonnie Adair-Hauck and Richard Donato "The PACE Model: Actualizing the Standards through Story-telling: 'Le Bras, la Jambe et le Ventre.'" |
This article highlights the PACE Model for standards-based language learning. Using a Francophone story, the authors illustrate how the PACE Model can assist teachers to actualize the 1996 Standards for Foreign Language Learning. Suggestions on how to design story-based activities are shared, as well as critical strategies for negotiating the meaning of stories. The authors illustrate how to incorporate the three modes of communication and the goal areas of the Standards into the curriculum. |
| 297 | Karen A. Berger and Geraldine P. O'Neill "Culture in Context: An Interdisciplinary Travel Study Course" |
This article describes an interdisciplinary travel study course designed to teach cultural appreciation and sensitivity in context. The course is a joint offering of the Modern Languages and Cultures and Marketing departments at Pace University, Pleasantville, New York. Both the readings and instruction focus on cultural issues that affect business and marketing practices, using France and the French as the subjects of study. Students attend four three-hour class sessions before an eight-day trip to France and two subsequent three-hour class sessions with a final project based on observation and research from their travel experience. |

| 318 | Lee Hilliker "In the Modernist Mirror: Jacques Tati and the Parisian Landscape" |
Playtime (1967) is a complex work of cinema comedy that takes place in a Paris constructed by Tati to conform to his vision of the contemporary urban world. A commercial failure and later critical success, the film challenges viewers and characters alike to assess accurately spatial location and identity. Playtime was written and filmed in an era of urban expansion when modernism became the official Paris style. Tati questions the capacity of humans to interact in an environment where uniformity and repetition are the norm. Although M. Hulot succeeds in dismantling the urban edifice and reconciling its contradictions, Playtime implies that history has become a disappearing image before the assault of modernism. |
| LITERATURE | ||
| 332 | James T. Day "Theater, Texts, and Ambiguity in Gide's L'Immoraliste " |
The well-known ambiguity of L'Immoraliste owes much to friction between ../images of drama and text in the novel, to the gap separating scenes of performance from themes of reading or writing. In various ways, the novel associates texts with inauthentic living. By thematizing the theater, Gide validates Michel's turning to performance-based models ofsocial identity in the course of his progressive rejection of the presumed authority of texts. But Michel fails to create a stable persona, as he fails to acculturate the initial layer of his personal "palimpsest." Text does, however, have the ambiguous last word. |
| 346 | Marie-Sophie Armstrong "Hugo à l'aire Saint-Mittre: Zola et la problématique de la propriété littéraire" |
Cet essai envisage la relation d'Emile Zola à Victor Hugo sous le jour particulier de la propriété littéraire. Prenant pour champ d'étude le cimetière et l'aire Saint-Mittre, le double espace fondateur de La Fortune des Rougon (1871), roman liminaire de la série des Rougon-Macquart, il s'agit de montrer comment, loin de constituer de simples réminiscences, les textes de Hugo réécrits par Zola donnent à lire une réflexion complexe de l'écrivain sur son rapport à Hugo et sur son appropriation du père littéraire. |
| 358 | Françoise Frégnac-Clave "Ligne de fuite: La Gloire des Rois de Saint-John Perse" |
Le court recueil de Saint-John Perse intitulé La Gloire des Rois a souvent dérouté la critique. Pourtant les cinq poèmes qui le composent forment ensemble un tout cohérent, une véritable cosmogonie qui doit son agencement à la culture du poète et notamment à sa connaissance de l'anthropologie et des philosophies orientales. Son insertion par Perse entre Eloges et Anabase dans l'édition complète de ses oeuvres marque clairement un seuil entre l'inspiration personnelle des premiers poèmes et celle, plus universelle, qui caractérisera le reste de l'oeuvre. |
| 373 | Constance Gosselin Schick "A Picaresque Revenant" |
Rémi Tremblay enlisted in the United States Army during the Civil War. In 1884, he began publishing Un Revenant: épisode de la guerre de Sécession in serial form. This novel is a picaresque narration of the adventures of two French-Canadian protagonists who enlist as mercenaries to fight on the side of the Union. Tremblay subverts the voices and visions of an old New France by means of both the exile and the return of his adventurers. A new Francophone language and voice can be heard in this novel, which consists of picaresque "fantasmagories mises à la portée des classes nécessiteuses." |
