The Special NDEA Institute at Bowdoin College for French Teachers of Canadian Descent
Description
Essay on the 1961 French Institute (Bowdoin College, Brunswick, Maine) held under the terms of the National Defense Education Act that was intended, by the federal government, to tap into and develop the linguistic resource of native Franco-American French speakers. Complicated by the divergence of New England French from standard Parisian French. Brault provides here a paraphrased version of the Institute's curricula, which aimed to standardize spoken French from its dialectical or vernacular forms local to Maine.
