I am pleased to announced that Dr. Genesee’s public lecture in Fredericton on May 14 will be available in Sackville through a video-link at Mount Allison University at the Wu Centre (corner of Salem and York Streets), courtesy of Canadian Parents for French NB and Mount Allison University. Details are below. Please circulate this information to anyone you think might be interested. Dr. Genesee’s lecture will run from 7:00 – 9:00 p.m.

On May 14, 2008, Dr. Fred Genesee will be giving a free, public talk in Fredericton, New Brunswick. The title of his lecture is “Early childhood bilingualism: Perils and possibilities”.

We believe this presentation will appeal to anyone interested in issues pertaining to bilingualism in education, second language learners, immersion, and the challenges associated with accommodating the varied needs of learners from varied cultural and linguistic backgrounds. Dr. Genesee is a world-renowned scholar of bilingualism, language development and language immersion programs, a Professor of Psychology at McGill University and the author of numerous scientific research books and reports on language learning in children.

We would be grateful for your assistance in circulating this message to your members, colleagues, and staff who might benefit from attending this event. Teachers, in particular, might be able to count this event toward mandated professional development requirements.
