معرفی
Marie-Paule Lory is an Associate Professor in the Department of Language Studies at the University of Toronto Mississauga, holding a graduate appointment in the Graduate Program in Language & Literacies Education at OISE. Her work bridges academic research with practical applications in K-12 education through collaborations with the Ontario Ministry of Education and school boards.
Her educational background includes:
- PhD in Didactique, University of Montréal
- MA in Second Language Acquisition, Université René Descartes (Paris)
- BA in Second Language Acquisition, Université René Descartes (Paris)
Dr. Lory's research centers on linguistic social representation among language learners and the integration of linguistic/cultural diversity in pedagogy. She develops innovative plurilingual teaching frameworks that challenge monolingual norms, with current projects using Creative Expression to advance second language acquisition. Her work emphasizes equity in educational spaces through Linguistic and Cultural Collaboration (LCC) models that reconcile majority and minoritized language dynamics.
Analysis of her 2019-2023 publications reveals consistent focus on plurilingual pedagogy implementation in Canadian contexts, particularly Ontario's French-language education system. Her scholarship transitions from theoretical frameworks (2019-2020) to practical ministry-endorsed resources (2021-2023), demonstrating applied impact in teacher training and curriculum development.
Key research support includes:
- SSHRC Insight Development Grant (2020-2024) as Co-investigator for 'Awareness Matters: Fostering Critical Multilingual Language Awareness for All'
- Ontario Ministry of Education project (2023): 'Les approches plurilingues, Une ressource numérique pour les écoles de langue française de l’Ontario' (CLÉ & Centre-Franco)
She actively mentors through OISE's graduate program while leading province-wide initiatives that translate research into classroom practice. As a CREFO (Centre de recherches en éducation franco-ontarienne) member, she contributes to Franco-Ontarian educational research networks focused on language preservation and pedagogical innovation.
