Interesting poll surveying attitudes and expectations among French and English speakers in the Quebec workplace. Of note: The survey indicated English speakers are much more likely to be required to speak French in meetings than French speakers having to use English. English speakers are twice as likely to report working with unilingual francophones than French speakers working with unilingual anglophones. However, French speakers are more likely to feel irritated by having to communicate in English."h

I am a professor in the Lynch School of Education and Human Development at Boston College, and director of the Curriculum & Instruction doctoral program. I have served as an associate editor at Child Development, Applied Psycholinguistics, and an editor at Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools. I was a bilingual teacher in Detroit, MI and have worked in district, state, and nonprofit settings. I work with bilingual learners from multilingual homes in K-8 settings, thinking about language use and development, cross-linguistic relations, instructional interventions, and teacher practice. I've published a bunch of articles and book chapters, and have developed language and reading curricula. I always work in close collaboration with teachers to facilitate the translation of research to practice.
