RESUMÉ: Mes travaux portent sur une Sociodidactique basée sur les usages et les représentations du bilinguisme créole-français tel qu’observé dans l’un des départements d’outre-mer français (la Martinique). Je tâche d’appliquer cette approche du fait que, selon moi, ce type de démarche scientifique est la plus adaptée au contexte plurilingue que constitue celui des départements d’outre-mer français. Il s’agit avant tout d’apporter des réponses empiriques aux questions d’ordres didactique, sociolinguistique, mais aussi éducatif e de politique linguistique liées à la coexistence du français et du créole en Martinique. Une telle perspective s’impose d’autant plus que mes travaux de doctorat ont bénéficié d’un mandat d’une institution française, le Conseil Régional de Martinique, de sorte à fournir des éléments d’une recherche doctoral susceptible d’intéresser tant les institutions et les différents acteurs du systèm scolaire français en contexte martiniquais, que bien entendu la Communauté scientifique. À titre à la fois épistémologique et méthodologique, d’autres approches sont tout aussi pertinentes, notamment celles que l’on peut qualifier d’interculturelle et d’interdidactique, et je m’en saisis avec une relative régularité dans mes travaux de doctorat. Néanmoins, il m’a semblé davantage opportun d’entrer dans une démarche d’élucidation du bilinguisme créole-français, avec ce qu’il implique en termes de variété linguistique et de diversité d’usages, sous un regard sociolinguistique. Cette perspective a fini par s’imposer au cours de ma recherche, à l’appui d’hypothèses intégrant des problématiques issues tant de la linguistique, que de la sociologie des usages, de l’analyse des discours institutionnels, des sciences de l’éducation et de l’anthropologie culturelle. -- MOTS-CLE: anthpology culturelle, bilinguisme créole-français, contexte plurilingue, interculturelle, interdidactique, sociodidactique, sociologie des usages.

ABSTRACT: My work relates a Sociodidacticss of Caribbean Creole, based on Creole-French bilingualism and representations such as observed in one French overseas departments (Martinique). I attemp to apply this approach because, according to me, this scientific approach is more adapted to multilingual context that the one constitutes French overseas departments. The idea is first provide anecdotal answers to didactic, sociolinguistics but also educational an linguistic policy issues related to coexistence of the French and of Creole in Martinique. Such an approach established itself not least because my work is benefiting from a mandate of a French institute, the Regional Concils of Martinique, to provide information of a doctorate investigation susceptible to interest both the institutions and different actors of the French school system from Martinique context than obviously scientific community. By way at a time epistemological and methodological, other approaches are also applicable; especially those that can be qualified intercultural and inter-teaching, then I will take up those approaches with a regularity in my doctorate work. However, it seemed to me more appropriate to inter into an initiative of elucidation of Creole-French bilingualism, with what it entails in terms of linguistic variety and diversity uses, in a Sociodidactics light. This approach ends up being imposed during my investigation, in support of hypotheses incorporating issued of both the linguistics, then usages sociology, of the analysis of institutional discourse, of sciences of education and on cultural anthropology. -- KEY WORDS: creole-french bilingualish, cultural anthropology, intercultural, inter-teaching, multilingual context, sociodidactics, usages sociology.

From a sociocultural perspective, this study explores the social, political, and historical forces that mediate language ideology and practices in Haitian schools and how such ideology and practices influence students' academic achievement. This study analyzes the role of French and Creole in schools and investigates the linguistic tensions in the Haitian society where Creole, the home language of both students and teachers and the only language broadly used in the country, is relegated to secondary importance in education and other institutional settings. The study relies on ethnographic data collected in a third grade, a fourth grade, a fifth grade, and a sixth grade classroom in a private and a public school in a semi-urban area around the capital city of Haiti as well as data collected in different sectors of the society (e.g. state and private institutions). Building upon the literature regarding classroom discourses and the literature on sociocultural theory, coloniality, language ideology, and symbolic domination, this study problematizes language and educational practices in Haiti and offers recommendations for rebuilding Haiti's educational system in the aftermath of the devastating earthquake of January 12th, 2010. Given the role of students' home language in their instruction, this study argues that any effort aiming the revitalization of the school system in Haiti needs to take into consideration issues related to language in the education system.”].

NOTE

Some Senior Theses titles From FLA (Faculté de Linguistique Appliquée, State University of Haiti) and few masters theses in their joint program with Université Antilles-Guyane /UAG)  that have not been recorded in our theses and dissertations database or did not have an electronic version. This research sample would be an open door for FLA and all other faculties at Université d’État d’Haïti: State University of Haiti to publish online all their senior theses (pdf format) or students can just do that themselves after their defense. --- Unfortunately, the Faculty of Applied Linguistics (Faculté de Linguistique Appliquée /FLA) of the State University of Haiti has been destroyed in the tragedy of the January 12, 2010 earthquake. Many of its students died, along with it dean Pierre Vernet while in class. Prior to this tragedy, we were in touch with some students some two months before when they emailed us to work on a bibliography of the works of Suzanne Sylvain-Comhaire. In two weeks, we were done with the research and sent it to them. They were going to name the graduating class of 2010, “Promotion Suzanne Sylvain” (first Haitian woman linguist and anthropologist who defended a Doctoral dissertation at Université Sorbonne in Paris on Haitian Creole Grammar, a research that would soon became a classic for linguists specializing in Creole Studies. (Emmanuel W. Védrine).

VALDMAN, Albert. • Collection of Haitian Education Materials : Keleksyon Materyèl sou Edikasyon Ayisyen. Indiana University. (Ref. Indiana University Creole Institute Collection and Indiana University web links) -- ABSTRACT: ABSTRÈ -- This collection consists primarily of Haitian school materials and literature relating to the Bernard Education Reform beginning in 1980. Additionally, it includes Creole and French literature, secondary texts about Haitian literature and culture, and materials used for bilingual programs in the United States. ACCESS (Aksè): The collection is open for research. Interested patrons may request it from the Auxiliary Library Facility, where it is housedHISTORICAL NOTE (Nòt Istorik): An attempt to restructure Haiti's education system began with the launch of the Bernard Reform of Education in 1979, named for the former Minister of Education, Joseph C. Bernard. The reform was established in response to the growing status of the Creole language, the need to increase the level of access to basic education, and to improve the overall efficiency of the system. To address these issues, the newly formed Department of National Education (DEN /Depatman Edikasyon Nasyonal) introduced the use of Creole as a language of instruction in Haitian schools. (As Creole was not recognized as an official language of Haiti until 1987, this was a rather controversial move.) Despite the intentions, this initial period of the reform was halted in the mid-1980s due to a lack of implementation, among other factors. --- The 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s also saw efforts to improve literacy and rural development. Various organizations initiated projects and produced informational pamphlets in this area. These include government institutions such as the National Office for Community Education (ONEC) and the National Office for Literacy and Community Education (ONAAC), Catholic and Protestant organizations such as the Radio Soleil, and international organizations such as UNESCO, who organized a literacy project in 1979. --- As Haitians immigrated to the United States, issues of bilingual education for Haitian children also needed to be addressed. Various projects formed with funding through Title VII of ESEA and bilingual programs were established in three major diaspora areas: New York, Boston, and Miami. The IU Creole Institute was also heavily involved in the instruction of Haitian Creole in the United States. In the 1980s, the institute coordinated four summer institutes in the diaspora areas to train teachers involved in the bilingual education of Haitian children. --- ARRANGEMENT (Aranjman): The collection is divided into five main series: I. Bernard Reform of Education, II. Rural Education in Haiti, III. Bilingual Program Materials, III. Literature, and IV. Secondary Sources. SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE: Professor Albert Valdman acquired these materials over the course of his career as a scholar of the Haitian Creole language and Director of the Indiana University Creole Institute. The items were part of the Creole Institute's library until they were donated to the IU Herman B Wells Library in 2010. -- The collection is divided into five series: Bernard Reform of Education, Rural Education in Haiti, Bilingual Program Materials, Literature, and Secondary Sources. -- The first series comprises the majority of the collection, consisting primarily of schoolbooks published by the Department of National Education (Depatman Edikasyon Nasyonal, DEN) in Haiti, but also the non-governmental organization Komité Edikasyon Karitas, Ench. These items are largely in Creole, but some French texts are also included. -- The second series consists of pamphlets and texts relating to literacy education and rural development of the general population. -- Materials for the major bilingual programs for Haitian children in the United States are contained in the third series. This series also includes issues of the bilingual educational periodical Edikatè à L'educateur from 1986-1990. -- Literature in this collection includes materials such as poetry, fictional works, religious texts, and translations. These are primarily in Creole and French, but also some English. The secondary sources include books on topics in Haiti such as development, migration, religion, and education, among others.
